Chitin and Chitosan: Functional Biopolymers from Marine Crustaceans
TL;DR: This review deals with the fundamental aspects of chitin and chitosan such as the preparation of chItosan, crystallography, extent of N-acetylation, and some properties, and recent progress of their chemistry is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endo/exo mechanism and processivity of family 18 chitinases produced by Serratia marcescens.
Svein Jarle Horn,Audun Sørbotten,Bjørnar Synstad,Pawel Sikorski,Morten Sørlie,Kjell M. Vårum,Vincent G. H. Eijsink +6 more
TL;DR: The results are discussed in the light of recent literature data on directionality and synergistic effects of ChiA, ChiB and ChiC, leading to the conclusion that ChiA and ChiB are processive chit inases that degrade chitin chains in opposite directions, while ChiC is a nonprocessive endochitinase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative studies of chitinases A, B and C from Serratia marcescens
Svein Jarle Horn,Morten Sørlie,Gustav Vaaje-Kolstad,Anne Line Norberg,Bjørnar Synstad,Kjell Morten Vårum,V.G.H. Eijsink +6 more
TL;DR: The available data for Serratia chitinases show that the chitinolytic machinery of this bacterium consists of two processive exo-enzymes that degrade the chITin chains in opposite directions (ChiA and ChiB) and a non-processive endo-enzyme, ChiC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of arsenic from contaminated drinking water by a chitosan/chitin mixture
TL;DR: In this paper, a Chitosan/chitin mixture was studied as a potential agent for the removal of arsenic (V) from ground waters, and the arsenic concentration of contaminated waters was lowered to levels accepted by the Canadian Department of Health and Welfare and the World Health Organization upon treatment with the mixture and furthermore, the copper and sulfate levels were also reduced.

Effect of chitin sources on production of chitinase and chitosanase byStreptomyces griseus HUT 6037
Kwang Kim,Hong-Seok Ji +1 more
TL;DR: This study investigated the effects of the enzyme induction time and chitin sources, CM-chitosan and deacetylated chitosans, on production of chitOSanase and suggested that the sugar composition of (GlcN)3 was homogeneous and those of ( GlcN]4 and (GlCN)5 were heterogeneous.
