Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for producing shell powder fertilizer using Bacillus licheniformis CBFOS-03 is provided to produce environmentally-friendly shell powder and obtain GlcNAc and chitin oligosaccharide which is widely used in medicine, agriculture, cosmetic and food. CONSTITUTION: A Bacillus licheniformis CBFOS-03(deposit number: KACC 91346P) having chitinous substance lysis ability of shell contains amino acid of sequence number 1. A chi18B gene having the shell chitinous lysis ability contains sequence of sequence number 2. The Bacillus licheniformis CBFOS-03 or chi18B gene is used in producing shell powder fertilizer by biologically and physically treating shell.
