This review highlights the key role that mycorrhizal fungi play in making phosphorus (Pi) more available to plants, including pathways of absorption, phosphate transporters and plant-mycorrhizal fungus symbiosis, especially conditions where level inorganic soil is low. Mycorrhizal colonization involves a series signaling plant root exudates strigolactones, while release mixture chito-oligosacch...

Partially acetylated chito-oligosaccharides (paCOSs) are bioactive compounds with potential medical applications. Their biological activities largely dependent on their structural properties, in particular degree of polymerization (DP) and the position acetyl groups along glycan chain. The production structurally defined paCOSs a purified form is highly desirable to better understand structure/...

ABSTRACT: Our target is to evaluate recent literature on chitinase production from different sources via solid-state fermentation and analyze several strategies improve fermentation. Plant pathogen biocontrol, sequential transformation of chitin into bioactive molecules such as chito-oligosaccharides N-acetylglucosamine, protoplast synthesis filamentous fungi, single-cell protein are some the a...

PURPOSE The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the antibacterial properties and the biocompatibility of composite electrospun nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) with low-molecular-weight fish scale collagen peptides (FSCP) and chito-oligosaccharide (COS), to determine their potential for use as wound dressings. METHODS Low-molecular-weight FSCP were combined with COS to prepare ...
