Chitosan coating for inhibition of sclerotinia rot of carrots
TL;DR: In in vitro tests, chitosan at 1, 2, and 4% (w/v) significantly reduced the growth of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on potato dextrose agar plates and revealed that fungal mycelium exposed to chitOSan appeared to be deformed and dead, whereas untreatedMycelium was normal in appearance.

Effect of chitosan on membrane permeability and cell morphology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphyloccocus aureus
Yan Tao,Li-Hong Qian,Jing Xie +2 more
TL;DR: Results showed that after treated with chitosan, the electric conductivity of bacteria suspensions increased, followed by increasing of the units of average release for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and that S. aureus is more sensitive than P. aeruginosa to chitOSan.
