Abstract
Enrichment of soil with chitin (0.6 %) significantly stimulated growth of chitinolytic microorganisms (the relative proportion was increased from 1.7 to 26.5 %) and the formation of chitinase in soil. In a soil enriched with chitin and glucose (0.6%), the proportion of chitinolyt ic microorganisms remained similar to that in the nonenriched soil (1. 4 %), the enzyme formation was negatively affected.
