Explain briefly:
Chitinase

उत्तर
Chitinase is a class of enzymes used for the degradation of chitin, which forms a significant component of the fungal cell wall. Therefore, to isolate the DNA enclosed within the cell membrane of the fungus, the enzyme chitinase is used to break the cell to release its genetic material.
