Effects of Ball Milling, Ultrosonic or Hydrochloric Acid Treatment on the Microstructure and Enzymatic Deacetylation Efficiency of Chitin [PDF]
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

Chitin Deacetylases: Properties and Applications [PDF]
Chitin deacetylases, occurring in marine bacteria, several fungi and a few insects, catalyze the deacetylation of chitin, a structural biopolymer found in countless forms of marine life, fungal cell and spore walls as well as insect cuticle and peritrophic matrices.

Chitin Deacetylases: Structures, Specificities, and Biotech Applications [PDF]
Depolymerization and de-N-acetylation of chitin by chitinases and deacetylases generates a series of derivatives including chitosans and chitooligosaccharides (COS), which are involved in molecular recognition events such as modulation of cell signaling and morphogenesis, immune responses, and host-pathogen interactions.

Polycistronic Expression System for Pichia pastoris Composed of Chitino- and Chitosanolytic Enzymes
Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers. Due to its recalcitrant nature and insolubility in accessible solvents, it is often considered waste and not a bioresource. The products of chitin modification such as chitosan and chitooligosaccharides are

Preparation of Defined Chitosan Oligosaccharides Using Chitin Deacetylases [PDF]
During the past decade, detailed studies using well-defined ‘second generation’ chitosans have amply proved that both their material properties and their biological activities are dependent on their molecular structure, in particular on their degree of polymerisation (DP) and their fraction of acetylation (FA). Recent evidence suggests that the pattern

Cloning, expression and activity identification of chitin deacetylase gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
To construct a non-methanol induced expression vector and engineering strain for chitin deacetylase in Pichia pastoris, two chitin deacetylase genes ScCDA1 and ScCDA2 were amplified and cloned from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and subjected to bioinformatics

Chitin Heterodisaccharide, Released from Chitin by Chitinase and Chitin Oligosaccharide Deacetylase, Enhances the Chitin-Metabolizing Ability of Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
We demonstrate that β- N -acetyl- d -glucosaminyl-(1,4)- d -glucosamine (GlcNAc-GlcN) enhances the chitin-metabolizing ability of V. parahaemolyticus .

Study of chitin deacetylase enzyme activity
The present doctoral dissertation focuses on the study of chitin deacetylase activity, continuing the effort towards the desigh of an enzymatic process for the deacetylation of chitin. A new chitin deacetylase was purified to homogeneity from the culture
