Abstract
Vibrio cholerae non-O1 (1148 A) produced β-N-acetylglucosamini-dase and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) deacetylase intracellularly when grown in chitin or GlcNAc containing medium. It also secreted chitinase only in the chitin-containing medium. The partially purified GlcNAc deacetylase deacetylated GlcNAc but not chitin oligosaccharides, the dimer to hexamer of GlcNAc. We also detected the reaction product by capillary electrophoresis.
