Abstract: This paper studied the chitinase production of Beauveria bassiana Bb174 under solid state fermentation condition.The optimal medium consisted of wheat bran and silkworm chrysalis at the ratio of 4:1,supplemented with 1 g peptone·L-1 as nitrogen source and some other mineral nutrients.The enzyme activity reached 126 units per gram dry medium after cultured for 2 days at 28 ℃ and natural pH by inoculated 3 ml spore suspension into this medium.The optimal temperature and pH for chintinase production were 40 ℃ and 5.0,respectively.The temperature to lose 50% activity of the enzyme was 48 ℃ after incubated at 30~70 ℃ for 1 h.The enzyme was stable at 30~40 ℃ and pH 4~6,and the Km and Vmax values were 0.52 mg·ml-1 and 0.7△E680·h-1,respectively.

Key words: Beauveria bassiana, Chitinase, Solid state fermentation, Kinetic of enzyme reaction
