Chitinolytic enzymes: their contribution to basic and applied research

After cellulose, chitin is the second most abundant renewable resource available in nature. Marine invertebrates and fungal biomass are the two main sources of chitinous waste, which is commercially exploited. The enzymes involved in chitin degradation have been particularly well studied. Such enzym...

description After cellulose, chitin is the second most abundant renewable resource available in nature. Marine invertebrates and fungal biomass are the two main sources of chitinous waste, which is commercially exploited. The enzymes involved in chitin degradation have been particularly well studied. Such enzymes have applications in ultrastructural studies, in the preparation of chitooligosaccharides which show anti-tumour activity, as biocontrol agents and in single-cell protein production. Here, the contribution chitin enzymology can make to basic and applied research is discussed.
