Nitrogen sorption as a tool for the characterisation of polysaccharide aerogels [PDF]

, 2011
Supercritically dried aerogels of several polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, alginate, alginic acid, k- carrageenan, and agar) have been characterised by physisorption ofN2. Surface areas as high as 570m2 g−1 have been measured.

The Synthesis of Chitin-g-Poly(vinyl acetate) Copolymers with a Redox Initiator

, 2010
Vinyl acetate monomer was graft polymerized onto chitin with a redox initiator, cerium ammonium nitrate. Both the graft copolymerization and emulsion polymerization of pure poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were observed during the reaction and a stable ...

LysM protein BdLM1 of Botryosphaeria dothidea plays an important role in full virulence and inhibits plant immunity by binding chitin and protecting hyphae from hydrolysis

Frontiers in Plant Science
Botryosphaeria dothidea infects hundreds of woody plants and causes a severe economic loss to apple production. In this study, we characterized BdLM1, a protein from B. dothidea that contains one LysM domain.

A polyphasic approach to the study of chitinolytic bacteria in soil [PDF]

Chitin is the most abundant nitrogen-containing polymer in nature, with >1x10^10 tonnes produced annually in terrestrial and marine habitats. Chitinolytic bacteria are able to degrade this recalcitrant substrate through a multiplicity of chitinases.

Chitin-binding capacity of rLdpA.

After incubation of serially diluted rLdpA (2.5–40 μg) with chitin (1 mg) in 100 μL of PBS, rLdpA in the supernatant (sup.) and sediment (sed.) was evaluated by SDS-PAGE. (TIF)

Integration of gene expression analysis and molecular docking in revealing stress-responsive functions of potato chitinases

Scientific Reports
Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine units, is a major structural component of the cell walls of many fungi and oomycetes and serves as a strong potent elicitor of plant immune responses.

Comparison of extraction methods and characterisation of chitin and chitosan with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties from black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) meal

, 2018
Chitin/chitosan is a natural biopolymer that has many applications in agriculture, medicine and biotechnology. Although synthesized by different organisms, crustacean shells dominate the production.

Chitin nanofiber alignment: optical and quantitative analysis [PDF]

, 2014
Polymers are an important material in modern life. Most of our modern world is made of polymeric materials. When we think of polymers, the synthetic plastics we use on a regular basis typically come to mind, but not all polymers are synthetics.

Anti-Inflammatory, Antipyretic, and Analgesic Potential of Chitin and Chitosan Derived from Cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) and Termites

Journal of Functional Biomaterials
The chitin and chitosan biopolymers are extremely valuable because of their numerous industrial and pharmacological uses. Chitin and chitosan were extracted from the exoskeleton of Periplaneta americana (cockroaches) and termites using various acid and ...
