A Novel Potent Crystalline Chitin Decomposer: Chitin Deacetylase from <i>Acinetobacter schindleri</i> MCDA01

Chitosan is a functional ingredient that is widely used in food chemistry as an emulsifier, flocculant, antioxidant, or preservative. Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) can catalyze the hydrolysis of acetyl groups, making them useful in the clean production of chitosan. However, the high inactivity of cryst...
