Fungal endophytes: an untapped source of biocatalysts (2012, background): “Since fungi produce these enzymes to restructure their chitinous cell wall during growth and (Adams 2004) and plant infection (El Gueddari et al. 2002), the fungal enzymes that act on these chitin variants have garnered attention with a view to enlisting these catalysts for reshaping of naturally…”

Comparative genome sequence analysis underscores mycoparasitism as the ancestral life style of Trichoderma (2011, background): “It has also been reported that fungi deacetylate chitin as a defense mechanism [45,46].”
Nutrient uptake in rust fungi: how sweet is parasitic life? (2011, background): “Another explanation would be the conversion of chitin to chitosan by the action of a chitin deacetylase (El Gueddari et al. 2002).”
