Chitooligosaccharides enzymatic production by Metarhizium anisopliae
Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2010 The products of chitosan hydrolysis are chitooligosaccharides and are used mainly for medical applications due to their specific biological activities. The objective of this study was to detect and identify the products of enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan (dimers to hexamers) using a crude extract of chitosanolytic enzymes produced by the fungus ...

A strong immune response in young adult honeybees masks their increased susceptibility to infection compared to older bees [PDF]
, 2012 Honeybees, Apis mellifera, show age-related division of labor in which young adults perform maintenance ("housekeeping") tasks inside the colony before switching to outside foraging at approximately 23 days old. Disease resistance is an important feature
