Improving the efficiency and sustainability of chitin bioconversion through a combination of Streptomyces chitin-active-secretomes and mechanical-milling

Abstract

Chitin, particularly α-chitin, is the most abundant and highly recalcitrant form, fortified by an intricate network of hydrogen bonds. Efficient valorization of α-chitin requires mild pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Streptomyces...
