Discussion

This study demonstrates optimized chitinase production in Bacillus safensis, indicating its potential for industrial applications.

Chitinase activity reached a maximum of 17.3 µmol/min using colloidal chitin as a carbon source.
The optimal conditions for enzyme production were identified as 50°C and pH 6.0, confirmed by statistical analysis.
Molecular identification of Bacillus safensis was performed through 16S rRNA sequencing and biochemical tests.
These findings highlight the potential of Bacillus safensis for environmentally friendly agricultural practices and industrial uses.

O.B. et al. (2025) studied this question.
