Cloning and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciChitin deacetylase (CDA) can catalyze the deacetylation of chitin to produce chitosan. In this study, we identified and characterized a chitin deacetylase gene from Euphausia superba (EsCDA-9k), and a soluble recombinant protein chitin deacetylase from ...

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.

Acetylation and accessibility of Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall chitosans influence the strength of host immune responses [PDF]
The Cell SurfaceThe fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes fatal cryptococcal meningitis, a significant global health risk. Unlike most fungi, C. neoformans expresses chitin deacetylases that convert its cell wall chitin into chitosan, helping to evade chitin ...
