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.

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 ...

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 ...
