Chitinase Genes LbCHI31 and LbCHI32 from Limonium bicolor Were Successfully Expressed in Escherichia coli and Exhibit Recombinant Chitinase Activities
Figure 4
Effects of exposure to different metal ions on the activities of four different recombinases. (A) Activities of recombinase inrCHI31 with different metal ions; (B) activities of recombinase exrCHI31 with different metal ions; (C) activities of recombinase inrCHI32 with different metal ions; (D) activities of recombinase exrCHI32 in the presence of different metal ions. Several different reaction buffers were prepared, each spiked with 5 mmol L−1 of each metal ion. The chitinase activities were measured at 37°C for 20 min. Con: control; the activities of inrCHI31, exrCHI31, inrCHI32, and exrCHI32 were measured under normal reaction conditions without any additional ions. The experiments were performed three times. Different letters above the columns indicated a significant difference as determined by Duncan’s multiple comparisons test ().
