The presence of α-chitin in Tardigrada with comments on chitin in the Ecdysozoa

Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology, 2016
Abstract We used Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) to characterize for the first time chitin in the cuticle of a eutardigrade ( Macrobiotus cf. hufelandi ). Analysis of the isolated cuticles of single individuals and comparison with commercial α-chitin isolated from shrimp shell and β-chitin from squid pen revealed that the amide I ...

Chitin

2008
Publisher Summary Chitin is found in the exoskeleton of arthropods (crabs, shrimps, insects, etc.) but also in the cell walls of most mushrooms, in some bacteria, and in some algae. From a structural point of view, chitin performs the same function in invertebrates as cellulose does in plants.
