“…The chitinase system, which includes NAGase, has received far less ecological study than phosphatase. Chitin has been shown to be an inducer of activity (Smucker and Kim 1987) and chitin is a major reservoir of organic N in soils. IfNAGase is subject to the same regulatory mechanisms as other ecto-hydrolases, activity should be inhibited by labile N. Aminopeptidase, an enzyme whose role in protein degradation is analogous to that of NAGase in chitin degradation, exhibits this type of regulation; activity is induced by low N conditions and noncompetitively inhibited by inorganic N (Chr6st 1991 ).…”
