Novel Chitin Deacetylase from <i>Thalassiosira weissflogii</i> Highlights the Potential for Chitin Derivative Production

β-Chitin is an important carbon fixation product of diatoms, and is the most abundant nitrogen-containing polysaccharide in the ocean. It has potential for widespread application, but the characterization of chitin-related enzymes from β-chitin producers has rarely been reported. In this study, a ch...
