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

Nanostructural organization of naturally occurring composites - part II: silica-chitin-based biocomposites [PDF]
Investigations of the micro- and nanostructures and chemical composition of the sponge skeletons as examples for natural structural biocomposites are of fundamental scientific relevance.

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

The Primary Structure of a Fungal Chitin Deacetylase Reveals the Function for Two Bacterial Gene Products. [PDF]
Chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41) hydrolyzes the N-acetamido groups of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitin. A cDNA to the Mucor rouxii mRNA encoding chitin deacetylase was isolated, characterized, and sequenced. Protein sequence comparisons revealed

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

Plasmodiophora brassicae CBM18 Proteins Bind Chitin and Suppress Chitin-Triggered Immunity
Plants have a sophisticated and multilayered immune system. However, plant pathogens, helped by effector proteins, have found several strategies to evade plant immunity.

Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalase (TRE) directly regulate trehalose metabolism and indirectly regulate chitin metabolism in insects. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and RNA interference (RNAi) were used to detect the expressions and

Epichloë festucae forms a mutualistic symbiotic association with Lolium perenne. This biotrophic fungus systemically colonizes the intercellular spaces of aerial tissues to form an endophytic hyphal network and also grows as an epiphyte.
