Hydrolyzes chitin oligosaccharides, GlcNAc(n), with different degrees of polymerization (n=2-6), a soluble substrate glycol chitin, and an insoluble substrate beta-chitin nanofiber in vitro. GlcNAc(6) is hydrolyzed at the second glycosidic linkage from the reducing end in addition to the middle linkage. GlcNAc(4) is further hydrolyzed to GlcNAc(2).
