Recent Trends in Production, Characterization, and Utilization of Fungal ChitosanBy Razi ur Rahman, Garima Mathur
Abstract: Chitosan is the second most abundant biopolymer in nature after cellulose that can be extracted from marine sources, as well as from agricultural waste products such as mushrooms or other fungal sources following chitin deacetylation.

Currently, crustacean shells and other marine …
