DNA shuffling was carried out with two chitosanase genes belonging to glycoside hydrolase family eight from Bacillus cereus KNUC51 and B. cereus KNUC55. The shuffled products, YM18 and YM20, which showed higher activity than the parents at 40¡ãC, were selected for further studies. The 50 kDa chitosanases were purified using affinity chromatography with glutathione-Sepharose 4B. In general, the specific activity of YM18 is enhanced 250 % and that of YM20 is 350 % compared to the parents. YM20 exhibits a shift of the optimal pH level from 5.5 to 6.5. DNA sequence analysis revealed that YM18 and YM20 contained 2 amino acid substitutions (I13T and A87V for YM18; K66R and N352S for YM20). We presumed that these amino acid substitutions increase the specific activity and change the property of the two variants.
