Antibacterial Activity of Chitooligosaccharides
The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of chitooligosaccharide, prepared by partial acid hydrolysis of chitosan, and of an aminoglycosylated derivative, prepared by reductive alkylation of the chitooligosaccharide, against E. coli and S. aureus.

Chitooligosaccharides for wound healing biomaterials engineering
Chitooligosaccharides (CHOS) are oligomers of β-(1-4) linked N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucosamine that are produced from chitin or chitosan using different enzymatic or chemical methods. CHOS are water-soluble and non-cytotoxic with diverse bioactivities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammation, anti-obesity, anti-tumor and antioxidant.

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera) LysM receptor kinases VvLYK1-1 and VvLYK1-2 mediate chitooligosaccharide-triggered immunity [PDF]
Chitin, a major component of fungal cell walls, is a well-known pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that triggers defense responses in several mammal and plant species.

Purification, characterization and molecular cloning of the major chitinase from Tenebrio molitor larval midgut [PDF]
Insect chitinases are involved in degradation of chitin from the exoskeleton cuticle or from midgut peritrophic membrane during molts. cDNAs coding for insect cuticular and gut chitinases were cloned, but only chitinases from moulting fluid were purified
