Chitin, the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose, is found in the
exoskeleton of insects, fungi, yeast, and algae, and in the internal structures of other …

Cellular components of thermophilic organisms (enzymes, proteins and nucleic acids) are
also thermostable. Apart from high temperature they are also known to withstand …

Chitin is the second most plenteous polysaccharide in nature after cellulose, present in cell
walls of several fungi, exoskeletons of insects, and crustacean shells. Chitin does not …

Chitin is among the most abundant biomass present on Earth. Chitinase plays an important
role in the decomposition of chitin and potentially in the utilization of chitin as a renewable …

The steady increase in the number of newly isolated extremophilic microorganisms and the
discovery of their enzymes by academic and industrial institutions underlines the enormous …

Biological control of phytopathogenic fungi and insects continues to inspire the research and
development of environmentally friendly bioactive alternatives. Potentially lytic enzymes …

A Gram-positive bacterium with antagonistic activity was isolated from the soil. It has been
identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain V656 on the basis of 16S ribosomal DNA …

Bacteria act as the dominant degraders during the composting process, although fungi also
play important roles. In the present study, a 112-day aerobic composting by dairy manure …

Bacillus subtilis W-118, a strain that produces antifungal materials, excreted a chitinase
when cultured in a medium containing shrimp-and crab-shell powder as the major carbon …
