Studies on Chitin I. Enzymic Degradation of Chitin and Chitin Esters [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1954 A study has been made O'f the enzymic degradation of chitin and the sodium salt of chitin sulphuric acid by a chitinase prepared from the intestinal tract of the snail, Helix aspersa. It is shown that, in a citrate-phosphate buffer, the pH for optimum activity is 4.8 for both substrates.

A structural and biochemical model of processive chitin synthesis [PDF]
, 2014 Chitin synthases (CHS) produce chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. The molecular mechanism of processive chitin synthesis is not understood, limiting the discovery of new inhibitors of this enzyme class.

Studies on Chitin. I. Acetylation of Chitin [PDF]
Polymer Journal, 1979 Chitin was converted into diacetylchitin and also into various kinds of acetylchitins. A fully acetylated chitin was prepared by the acetylation of chitin in acetic anhydride—methanesulfonic acid mixture at 0°C overnight, or in acetic anhydride—perchloric acid mixture at 0°C for 3 h.

At the nexus of three kingdoms: the genome of the mycorrhizal fungus Gigaspora margarita provides insights into plant, endobacterial and fungal interactions. [PDF]
, 2020 As members of the plant microbiota, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF, Glomeromycotina) symbiotically colonize plant roots. AMF also possess their own microbiota, hosting some uncultivable endobacteria.

Imobilisasi Asam Humat Pada Kitin Dan Aplikasinya Sebagai Adsorben Cr(III)
Indonesian Journal of Chemical Research, 2018 Immobilization of humic acid on chitin has been conducted and applied to the adsorption of Cr(III). The humic acid was isolated using NaOH 0.1 M, while chitin was isolated by deproteination of crab shells by using NaOH 3.5 % (w/v) and followed by ...
