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)

Chitin soil amendment triggers systemic plant disease resistance through enhanced pattern‐triggered immunity [PDF]

Chitin triggers localised and systemic plant immune responses, making it a promising treatment for sustainable disease resistance. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying chitin‐induced systemic effects in plants remain unknown.

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.

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.

Alkali or acid induced changes in structure, moisture absorption ability and deacetylating reaction of β-chitin extracted from jumbo squid (Dosidicus gigas) pens [PDF]

Alkali or acid-induced structural modifications in β-chitin from squid (Dosidicus gigas, d'Orbigny, 1835) pens and its moisture absorption ability (MAA) and deacetylating reaction were investigated and compared with α-chitin from shrimp shells.

Chitin Modulates Innate Immune Responses of

, 2011
Background: Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

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.

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 ...
