Abstract

The action of a microbial chitinolytic enzyme complex from Streptomyces kurssanovii on chitosan gels with various degrees of cross-linking and on the O-derivatives of the gels was examined. The rate of digestion of the gels was shown to depend on the degree of cross-linking as well as on the size of the O-substituent, decreasing greatly with a rise in substitution.
