Abstract
Serrotia morcescens GG5 produced chitinase so presmce of flake chitin. Under submerged conditions maximum enzyme activity (14 WM..) was observed in minimal medium Isaving 1.0% flake chitin, 1.0% wheat bran and 005% swollen chitin after 96 hr at 30 .C/150 rpm. In solid state fermentation maximum enzyme yield (571_1/m1) was observed after 120 hr in medium having flake chitin and wheat bran in ratio of 1:1 and substrate to moisture ratio of 1:3.
