| biodegradation and microbial community changes upon shrimp shell wastes amended in mangrove river sediment. | chitin, a homopolymer of n-acetyl-d-glucosamine (glcnac) residues linked by beta 1-4 bonds, is the most abundant renewable natural resource after cellulose. it is widely distributed in nature as the integuments of crustaceans and insects and as a component of fungi and algae. this study investigated the effects of a bifunctional chitinase/lysozyme-producing strain, pseudomonas aeruginosa k-187, on degradation of shrimp shells and the survival conditions of bacterial strains in mangrove river sed ... | 2010 | 20512738 |
