Role of Chitinases in Human Stomach for Chitin Digestion: AMCase in the Gastric Digestion of Chitin and Chit in Gastric Pathologies.

, 2009
Chitin-containing food is an interesting but underestimated source of locally available, in most cases sustainable, food although chitin digestion by humans has generally been questioned or denied.

The first evidence of cryo-milling improving enzymatic production of chitooligosaccharides from chitin biomass [PDF]

Cryo-milling offers an energy-efficient approach to process α-chitin, the most prevalent and well-structured chitin form. In contrast to ball-milling, cryo-milling operates at low temperatures (

Chitin enhances serum IgE in Aspergillus fumigatus induced allergy in mice

, 2015
Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) is a ubiquitous fungus that activates, suppresses or modulates the immune response by changing its cell wall structure and by secreting proteases.

Chitin Synthase Is Critical for Epidermal Chitin Deposition and Molting in the Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus

Fishes
Chitin synthase (CHS) catalyzes the final polymerization step in chitin biosynthesis and is therefore central to cuticle formation in arthropods. In this study, a chitin synthase gene from the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (PtCHS) was identified

Microwave-based gluconic acid-catalyzed extraction of chitin-glucan extract from industrial Aspergillus niger biomass with functional activities

Kuwait Journal of Science
Industrial Aspergillus niger biomass can be a valuable source of biopolymers with antioxidative and prebiotic properties. To achieve this proposal, ethanol extraction of soluble free compounds with antioxidant activity was separated from native biomass ...

Microbial mineralization rates of chitin in a freshwater habitat, and purification of the chitinase complex from Pseudomonas sp.

, 1983
Microbial action on particulate chitin was analyzed in an eastcentral Indiana borrow pit lake. Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of water depth, particle size, mesh size of nylon bag containing chitin, and season on the decomposition ...
