Tetrazolium/Formazan Test as an Efficient Method to Determine Fungal Chitosan Antimicrobial Activity (2013, background): “The antimicrobial activity of chitosan is a hot research topic and there are several articles dealing with it and its derivatives [2, 3, 5–7].”
Recent Advances in Antimicrobial Treatments of Textiles (2008, background): “This antimicrobial ability, coupled with its non-toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility, is facilitating chitosan’s emerging applications in food science, agriculture, medicine, pharmaceuticals and textiles [85, 86].”
Extraction and characterization of chitin and chitosan from crustacean by-products: Biological and physicochemical properties (2011, positive): “Antibacterial activity of chitosan is influenced by its molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, concentration in solution, and pH of the medium (Lim and Hudson, 2003).”
Chitin and Chitosan: Functional Biopolymers from Marine Crustaceans (2006, background): “As a consequence, basic research on the efficient and controlled chemical modification reactions is advancing notably (Kurita, 1996, 1997a,b, 2001; Lim and Hudson, 2003; Uragami and Tokura, in press), and the resultant derivatives with welldefined structures will enable detailed discussion on the…”
