have additional lysozyme or lysozyme-like activity (Kasprzewska 2003). Plant cell wall glycoproteins containing N-acetylglucosamine, are considered to be the endogenous substrate for plant chitinases (Dyachok et al. 2002). In fungi, insects and crustaceans that contain chitin as a cell wall component, the major role of chitinases appears to be in modification of chitin. Chitinases are also considered to have a role in defense or in enhancing competitiveness in higher plants and animals that do…
