Non-catalytic conversion of chitin into Chromogen I in high-temperature water [PDF]
, 2019 Epub 2019 June 21The non-catalytic conversion of chitin into N-acetyl-ᴅ-glucosamine (GlcNAc) derivatives such as 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-ᴅ-erythro-hex-2-enofuranose (Chromogen I) was investigated in high-temperature water at 290–390 °C and 25 MPa with a ...

Fungal Chitin Induces Trained Immunity in Human Monocytes during Cross-talk of the Host with Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 The immune system is essential to maintain the mutualistic homeostatic interaction between the host and its micro- and mycobiota. Living as a commensal,Saccharomyces cerevisiaecould potentially shape the immune response in a significant way. We observed thatS.

The Effect of Chitin Size, Shape, Source and Purification Method on Immune Recognition
Molecules, 2014 The animal immune response to chitin is not well understood and needs to be investigated further. However, this is a challenging topic to study because of the technical difficulties in purifying chitin, and because this material usually comes associated ...

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Analyses to Decipher the Chitinolytic Response of Jeongeupia spp.
Marine Drugs, 2023 In nature, chitin, the most abundant marine biopolymer, does not accumulate due to the action of chitinolytic organisms, whose saccharification systems provide instructional blueprints for effective chitin conversion.

Bioconversion of chitin-containing wastes for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials
, 2011 The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. The oligosaccharides of chitin/chitosan, prepared by hydrolyzing chitin/chitosan with chitinase/chitosanase, have various potential applications in the fields of food, agricultural,

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study examines how helicoidal architectures with different porosities respond to bending. Adjusting layer angle and spacing in 3D‐printed polymers reveals clear tradeoffs between stiffness, strength, and energy absorption. Experiments and simulations highlight designs that distribute stress effectively, offering pathways for optimizing lightweight

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Slow food: insect prey and chitin induce phytohormone accumulation and gene expression in carnivorousNepenthesplants [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2016 Carnivorous Nepenthes plants use modified leaves forming pitfall traps to capture and digest prey, mainly insects, for additional nutrient supply. These traps, so called pitchers, contain a plant-derived fluid composed of many hydrolytic enzymes and defence-related proteins.
