The effects of ad - libitum consumption of chitosan oligosaccharide with drinking water on laying quails [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of chitosan oligosaccharide on feed conversion ratio, some egg quality parameters, and some blood parameters in Japanise quails. Chitosan oligosaccharide (ChitO) was added to the drinking water of ...

Structural basis for chitin acquisition by marine Vibrio species
Chitin degrading bacteria are important for marine ecosystems. Here the authors structurally and functionally characterize the Vibrio harveyi outer membrane diffusion channel chitoporin and give mechanistic insights into chito-oligosaccharide uptake.

Changing the substrate specificity of a chitooligosaccharide oxidase from Fusarium graminearum by model-inspired site-directed mutagenesis [PDF]
Chitooligosaccharide oxidase (ChitO) catalyzes the oxidation of C1 hydroxyl moieties on chitooligosaccharides and in this way displays a different substrate preference as compared to other known oligosaccharide oxidases.

Short chain chito-oligosaccharides promote arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization in Medicago truncatula [PDF]
During the establishment of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, the fungus and the host plant exchange chemical signals that are crucial to reciprocal recognition. Short-chain chitin oligomers (CO) released by AM fungi are known to trigger symbiotic signaling in all host plant species tested.
