Estimating the strength of single chitin nanofibrils via sonication-induced fragmentation

, 2017
We report the mechanical strength of native chitin nanofibrils. Highly crystalline α-chitin nanofibrils were purified from filaments produced by a microalgae Phaeocystis globosa, and two types of β-chitin nanofibrils were purified from pens of a squid ...

Tomato LysM Receptor-Like Kinase SlLYK12 Is Involved in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Symbiosis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is a widespread symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi (Glomeromycota), which improves the supply of water and nutrients to host plants.

The isolation of useful bioproducts remaining from the large-scale fermentation of penicillium chrysogenum [PDF]

, 2008
Chitin, a homopolymer of ß-(1-4) linked N-acetyl D-glucosamine units, and its deacetylated derivative chitosan have unique properties that may allow their utilisation in a diverse array of high-value applications.

Chitin-Induced Carbotype Conversion in Vibrio vulnificus

, 2011
As an etiological agent of bacterial sepsis and wound infections, Vibrio vulnificus is unique among the Vibrionaceae . The most intensely studied of its virulence factors is the capsular polysaccharide (CPS)

CERK1 is required for chitin-triggered reactive oxygen species generation in melon and is broadly conserved in cucurbits

Plant Signaling & Behavior
CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (CERK1), originally identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, encodes a pattern recognition receptor that perceives the fungal cell wall component called chitin to activate immune responses, including the production of ...

LYM2-dependent chitin perception limits molecular flux via plasmodesmata

, 2013
Chitin acts as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern from fungal pathogens whose perception triggers a range of defense responses. We show that LYSIN MOTIF DOMAIN-CONTAINING GLYCOSYLPHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL-ANCHORED PROTEIN 2 (LYM2), the Arabidopsis ...

Anion channel SLAH3 is a regulatory target of chitin receptor-associated kinase PBL27 in microbial stomatal closure

eLife, 2019
In plants, antimicrobial immune responses involve the cellular release of anions and are responsible for the closure of stomatal pores. Detection of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) induces currents ...

Soil Type and Associated Microbiome Influence Chitin's Growth Promotion Effect in Lettuce

Phytobiomes Journal
Chitin amendment of peat substrate has been proven effective in promoting lettuce growth and increasing phenolic compounds in lettuce seedlings. However, the effect of chitin soil amendment on lettuce growth in mineral soil remains unexplored. The effect

N-Acetyl Glucosamine Obtained from Chitin by Chitin Degrading Factors in Chitinbacter tainanesis

, 2011
A novel chitin-degrading aerobe, Chitinibacter tainanensis, was isolated from a soil sample from southern Taiwan, and was proved to produce N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG).
