Chitin and its N-deacetylated derivative chitosan are two biological polymers that have
found numerous applications in recent years, but their further deployment suffers from …

Chitosanases which catalyze the hydrolytic degradation of chitosan are to be regarded as
important for the extensive carbon and nitrogen recycle which occurs in nature …

For the enzymatic production of chitosan oligosaccharides from chitosan, a chitosanase-
producing bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain KCTC 0377BP, was isolated from soil. The …

Fungal autolysis is the natural process of self-digestion of aged hyphal cultures, occurring as
a result of hydrolase activity, causing vacuolation and disruption of organelle and cell wall …

Links between the microbial community structure and soil functions are unclear. The study of
these relationships requires the development of highly specific experimental approaches. In …

A chitosan‐degrading fungus, designated Aspergillus sp. Y2K, was isolated from soil. The
micro‐organism was used for producing chitosanase (EC 3.2. 1.132) in a minimal medium …

Invasive fungal infections are some of the most life-threatening infectious diseases in the
hospital setting. In industrialized countries, the most common fungal species isolated from …

A chitosanase-producing bacterium was isolated from Taiwan soils and identified as
Bacillus cereus D-11 based on the biochemical properties and 16S rRNA gene sequence …

Fungi known to produce lytic enzymes were used in an attempt to control wilt of tomato
caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (FOL). Some of the fungal species …

Chitosanase from Bacillus cereus S1 was purified, and the enzymatic properties were
investigated. The molecular weight was estimated to 45,000 on SDS-PAGE. Optimum pH …
