Purification and characterization of thermostable beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase of Bacillus stearothermophilus CH-4 isolated from chitin-containing compost.

K Sakai et al.

Applied and environmental microbiology, 60(8), 2911-2915 (1994-08-01)

Thermostable exochitinase was purified to homogeneity from the culture fluid of Bacillus stearothermophilus CH-4, which was isolated from agricultural compost containing shrimp and crabs. The enzyme was a single polypeptide with a molecular mass of 74 kDa, and the N-terminal

N-acetyl-D-glucosamine medium improves recovery of Haemophilus influenzae from sputa of patients with cystic fibrosis.

L V Möller et al.

Journal of clinical microbiology, 31(7), 1952-1954 (1993-07-01)

A modified selective medium supplemented with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG), hemin, and NAD plus two cefsulodin disks, for primary isolation of nonencapsulated Haemophilus influenzae from sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis, is described. Isolation of H. influenzae from this medium, designated NAG
