4.4.4. Carbon processes
Bacterial genera, like some genera in Colwelliaceae[10,
64] Flavobacterium, Arthrobacter, Serratia, Bacillus,
Enterobacter, Vibrio, [65]Pseudoalteromonas [64] andAchromobacter [66] produce chitinase. The
presence of chitinase gene in CAB is not surprising as their foregut and
hindgut are made up of chitin [11]. The overall
outline of CAB-mediated biogeochemical pathways is represented in Figure
