Synthesis of Cell Wall Microfibrils in vitro by a "Soluble" Chitin Synthetase from Mucor rouxii
TL;DR: A "soluble" form of chitin synthetase was separated from a membrane-rich fraction by exposure to the enzyme substrate (uridine diphosphate N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) and activator (Nacetyl, D-glocosamine), which catalyzed the synthesis of microfibrils similar, if not identical, to those formed by the fungus as discussed by the authors.
