Chitin Degradation

Chitin Degradation is a biochemical process within microbial decomposition that specifically involves the enzymatic breakdown of chitin, a structural polysaccharide in fungal cell walls and arthropod exoskeletons, into simpler oligosaccharides and monomers such as N-acetylglucosamine through the action of chitinases.
