Abstract excerpt
Chitin is a highly abundant biopolymer of bioeconomic, biochemical and commercial importance. This carbohydrate is a source of nutrients for chitinolytic bacteria and can influence natural competence, surface adsorption and other fundamental aspects of prokaryote physiology. Bacterial enzymatic degradation of chitin is mediated by a well-studied set of hydrolytic enzymes, transcriptional regulators and...
