Characterization of extracellular chitin deacetylase from Aneurinibacillus aneurinilyticus isolated from marine crustacean shell [PDF]
Current Research in Microbial SciencesChitosan is a promising biopolymer with wide range of applications. It is the deacetylated product of chitin. Commercially, it is produced from chitin via a harsh thermochemical process that has several shortcomings and heterogenous deacetylation product.

Structure and function of a broad-specificity chitin deacetylase from Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Enzymatic conversion of chitin, a β-1,4 linked polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is of major interest in areas varying from the biorefining of chitin-rich waste streams to understanding how medically relevant fungi remodel their chitin-containing cell ...

Chitin Deacetylase Homologous Gene cda Contributes to Development and Aflatoxin Synthesis in Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
ToxinsThe fungal cell wall serves as the primary interface between fungi and their external environment, providing protection and facilitating interactions with the surroundings. Chitin is a vital structural element in fungal cell wall. Chitin deacetylase (CDA)

NtCML19 Is Recruited by Tobacco to Interact With the Deacetylase Protein RsDN3377 of Rhizoctonia solani AG3-TB, Inhibiting Fungal Infection. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholThe deacetylase RsDN3377 is recognised by the calcium‐binding protein NtCML19, which enhances host resistance against Rhizoctonia solani infection by inducing cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. ABSTRACT The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group 3 (AG3‐TB) is a major cause of global tobacco crop yield ...

Inhibition of chitin deacetylases to attenuate plant fungal diseases
Nature Communications, 2023 Phytopathogenic fungi secrete chitin deacetylase (CDA) to escape the host’s immunological defense during infection. Here, we showed that the deacetylation activity of CDA toward chitin is essential for fungal virulence.

Characterization of the Effector Candidate Repertoire in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Rhizophagus irregularis [PDF]
Journal of FungiThe majority of terrestrial plants can interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to form symbiotic relationships. AMF colonization not only enhances the host plant’s uptake of mineral nutrients but also improves its tolerance to biotic and abiotic

Effects of Ball Milling, Ultrosonic or Hydrochloric Acid Treatment on the Microstructure and Enzymatic Deacetylation Efficiency of Chitin [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide on Earth, which can be deacetylated to produce chitosan. However, due to the high crystallinity and poor solubility of chitin, its efficiency of enzymatic deacetylation is very low. To investigate
