The synthesis of secondary metabolites is a constantly functioning metabolic pathway in all
living systems. Secondary metabolites can be broken down into numerous classes …

Nanoscale materials derived from natural polymers have attracted considerable attention in
various scientific and technological fields due to their impressive qualities such as high …

Fungal chitosan (FCH) is superior to crustacean chitosan (CH) sources and is of immense
interest to the scientific community while having a high demand at the global market …

In this study, we focused on isolating fungi capable of producing extracellular chitin, a critical
component of fungal cell walls. Aspergillus niger was chosen as the candidate, and we …

When culturing psychrotrophic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from kimchi, the commonly
used de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) medium does not sufficiently satisfy the nutritional …

Organic polymers have found diverse applications in the industrial and scientific world. One
such application is using chitosan-based electrochemical sensors, which have gained rapid …

Chitosan, a valuable biopolymer, has traditionally been derived from marine sources.
However, exploring fungal alternatives offers a sustainable supply. This research …

This work aims to produce dextrin from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) starch by
pyroconversion. The effect of dextrinization process (roasting time, temperature, and …

This study aimed to evaluate antibactereal activity and characterize nano chitosan obtained
from mangrove fungal endophytes, exploiting the chitin components in fungal cell walls …

The cell wall of fungus mainly consists of chitin, chitosan, β-glucan and mannan. In recent
years, fungi have been regarded as an alternative source of chitosan for many industrial …
