Chitin is a structural endogenous carbohydrate, which is a major component of fungal cell
walls and arthropod exoskeletons. A renewable resource and the second most abundant
polysaccharide in nature after cellulose, chitin is currently used for waste water clearing,
cosmetics, medical, and veterinary applications. This work comprises data mining of protein
sequences related to the chitin metabolic pathway of completely sequenced genomes of
extant organisms pertaining to the three life domains, followed by meta-analysis using …
