  • Title: [Chitinolytic activity of filamentous fungi].
    Author: Shubakov AA, Kucheriavykh PS.
    Journal: Prikl Biokhim Mikrobiol; 2004; 40(5):517-9. PubMed ID: 15553781.
    Abstract:
    The chitinolytic activity of nine species of filamentous fungi, classified with seven genera (specifically, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Trichoderma, Paecilomyces, Sporotrichum, Beaueria, and Mucor), was studied. When cultured in liquid medium containing 1% crystalline chitin, all fungi produced extracellular chitosans with activity varying from 0.2 U/mg protein (Sporotrichum olivaceum, Mucor sp., etc.) to 4.0-4.2 U/mg protein (Trichoderma lignorum, Aspergillus niger).
