Chitin Production

Chitin Production is a biotechnological process that involves the biosynthesis of chitin, a linear polysaccharide composed of N-acetylglucosamine units, by fungal cells as a structural component of their cell walls, distinguished from other microbial polysaccharide productions by its eukaryotic origin and specific enzymatic machinery.
