An artificial selection procedure enriches for known and suspected chitin degraders from the prokaryotic rare biosphere of multiple marine biotopes [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyBackground Biological chitin degradation is a major process in the ocean, governed primarily by the action of microorganisms. It is known that the structure and taxonomic profile of chitin-degrading microbial communities change across marine biotopes ...

Chitin Nanowhisker Aerogels [PDF]
ChemSusChem, 2013 AbstractChitin nanowhiskers are structured into mesoporous aerogels by using the same benign process used previously in our group to make cellulose nanowhisker aerogels. The nanowhiskers are sonicated in water to form a hydrogel before solvent‐exchange with ethanol and drying under supercritical CO2 (scCO2). Aerogels are prepared with various densities

Extraction and characterization of chitin from granary weevil, Sitophilus granaries L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
Arthropods, 2022 Insect chitin has been extracted from granary weevil - Sitophilus granarius L, commonly called wheat weevil in laboratory by treating it with 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH. This was followed by decolorization. The yield of chitin from this species is 20.2%.
