Antimicrobial properties of chitosan of fungal origin

Mycodev Group是一家加拿大制造商和供应商，从非动物来源提取天然聚合物壳聚糖。由于其无毒、可生物降解和抗菌性能，壳聚糖被广泛应用于生物医学、制药和工业等领域。通常情况下，壳聚糖是从甲壳类动物的壳中提取的，这对其中一些应用可能是有问题的。Mycodev Group生产的壳聚糖是从真菌的生长中获得的，大大增强了其适用性，降低了过敏反应的风险。本研究旨在确定真菌来源的壳聚糖的不同可调参数对其抗菌效果的影响。

Mycodev Group is a Canadian manufacturer and supplier of chitosan, a natural polymer, from non-animal sources. Due to its non-toxicity, biodegradability, and antibacterial properties, chitosan is widely-used in a multitude of biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. Typically, chitosan is extracted from the shell of crustaceans, which can be problematic for some of these applications. The chitosan produced by Mycodev Group is obtained from the growth of a fungus, greatly enhancing its applicability and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. The present study aims at determining the impact of different tuneable parameters of chitosan of fungal origin on its antimicrobial efficacy.
