• Antimicrobial Actions and Applications of Chitosan (2021, background): “Furthermore, chitosan with a high DDA has been shown to exhibit a more positive charge than chitosan with a low DDA in the same acidic environment [68,90,103,107,121,122,170,171].”
• Antibacterial effects of chitosan–tripolyphosphate nanoparticles: impact of particle size molecular weight (2014, background): “…of CTS–TPP NPs with an artificial phospholipid membrane It has been suggested that the electrostatic interaction between the polycationic structure of chitosan and the primarily anionic components of the microorganism’s surface LPS plays a prime role in antibacterial activity (Kong et al. 2010).”
• A Biopolymer Chitosan and Its Derivatives as Promising Antimicrobial Agents against Plant Pathogens and Their Applications in Crop Protection (2011, background): “Numerous studies on the antimicrobial activity of chitosan and its derivatives against most economic plant pathogens have been investigated [26, 70, 71, 76–78, 145, 220–227] and reviewed [6, 8, 10, 100, 218, 228–231].”
