Purification and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum [PDF]
Chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41), the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetamido groups of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in chitin, has been purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and further characterized.

Chitin-deacetylase activity induces appressorium differentiation in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae differentiates a specialized infection structure called an appressorium to invade rice cells. In this report, we show that CBP1, which encodes a chitin-deacetylase, is involved in the induction phase of ...

Can we make Chitosan by Enzymatic Deacetylation of Chitin?
Chitin, an insoluble linear polymer of β-1,4-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc; A), can be converted to chitosan, a soluble heteropolymer of GlcNAc and d-glucosamine (GlcN; D) residues, by partial deacetylation.
