Chitooligosaccharides (COS) have a great potential to be used by pharmaceutical industry due to their many biological activities. The use of enzymes to produce them is very advantageous, however it still faces many challenges, such as discovering new strains capable to produce enzymes that are able to generate bioactive oligosaccharides. In the present study a purification protein protocol was performed to puri...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Chitosan is a natural polymer, biodegradable, nontoxic, high molecular weight derived from marine animals, insects and microorganisms. Oligomers of glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) have interesting biological activities, including antitumor effects, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant and others. The alternative proposed by this wor...
