The influence of chitin structure on its enzymatic deacetylation
Chemical and Process Engineering, 2016 The possibility of producing chitosan by enzymatic deacetylation of chitin has been the subject of numerous investigations over the last twenty years, but to date no satisfactory method has been developed.

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

Perspectives of Chitin Deacetylase Research
, 2011 Chitin and chitosan are copolymers of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine (GlcN) units linked with β-(1-4) glycosidic bond, where the predominant units are GlcNAc for chitin or GlcN for chitosan in their polymeric chains (Fig. 1).

Diet‐Driven Divergence in Gut Microbiota Variation Between Two Sympatric Gerbil Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provide various benefits to their mammalian hosts; however, knowledge regarding interspecific differences in gut microecology remains limited. This study employed 16S rRNA sequencing combined with metagenomic functional prediction (potential functions or functional potential) to conduct a comparative analysis of the gut ...

Nuclear processes associated with plant immunity and pathogen susceptibility [PDF]
, 2015 Plants are sessile organisms that have evolved exquisite and sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to their biotic and abiotic environment. Plants deploy receptors and vast signalling networks to detect, transmit and respond to a given biotic threat by ...

Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Shewanella baltica ATCC BAA-1091 [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2017 Abstract Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase (COD) from bacteria that have been examined so far typically comprise two carbohydrate-binding domains (CBDs) and one polysaccharide deacetylase domain. In contrast, Shewanella baltica ATCC BAA-1091 COD (Sb-COD) has only one CBD, yet exhibits chitin-binding properties and substrate ...

Next‐Generation Antioxidant Strategies: From Nanoformulations to Gene‐Targeted Therapies
cScience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Antioxidants play a pivotal role in neutralizing oxidative stress, a key factor in aging and chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. Although traditional antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, polyphenols, and endogenous enzymes have shown efficacy in laboratory and clinical studies, their therapeutic ...

How does Epichloë festucae avoid the host defence response? : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2018 Epichloë festucae is a filamentous fungus, which forms symbiotic associations with aerial tissues of Lolium and Festuca grass species. Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-Dglucosamine, is an important component of the fungal cell wall and a well-known ...
