Production of N-acetyl- d-glucosamine from α-chitin by crude enzymes from Aeromonas hydrophila H-2330

The selective and efficient production of N-acetyl- d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) was achieved from flake type of α-chitin by using crude enzymes derived from Aeromonas hydrophila H-2330. Efficient (yield=77%) production of GlcNAc was achieved from flake type of α-chitin by crude enzymes derived from Aerom...
