Improving efficiency and sustainability of chitin bioconversion through a combination of Streptomyces secretomes and mechanical-milling [PDF]
, 2023 Chitin, particularly α-chitin, is the most abundant and highly recalcitrant form, fortified by an intricate network of hydrogen bonds. Efficient valorization of α-chitin requires a mild pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Streptomyces spp.

Fungal chitin dampens inflammation through IL-10 induction mediated by NOD2 and TLR9 activation.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Chitin is an essential structural polysaccharide of fungal pathogens and parasites, but its role in human immune responses remains largely unknown. It is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose and its derivatives today are ...

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,

Identification of chitin allomorphs in poorly crystalline samples based on the complexation with ethylenediamine [PDF]
, 2022 Chitin is a key component of hard parts in many organisms, but the biosynthesis of the two distinctive chitin allomorphs, α- and β-chitin, is not well-understood. The accurate determination of chitin allomorphs in natural biomaterials is vital.

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.
