Chitosan resistance by the deletion of the putative high affinity glucose transporter in the yeast Ustilago maydis.
Dario Rafael Olicón-Hernández,Minerva Georgina Araiza-Villanueva,Melissa Vázquez-Carrada,Guadalupe Guerra-Sánchez +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Golden Gate system was used to test several mutant strains with deletions in monosaccharide transporters against chitosan in order to know the implications of these membrane proteins in the sensitivity of the Ustilago maydis against chITosan.
Fungicidal and Bactericidal Activity of Chitosans with Different Molecular Weights and Copper Complexes Based on Them

Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications
Islem Younes,Marguerite Rinaudo +1 more
TL;DR: Several selected pharmaceutical and biomedical applications are presented, in which chitin and chitosan are recognized as new biomaterials taking advantage of their biocompatibility and biodegradability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Results show that chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria tested and exposed to S. choleraesuis led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
