Rhizopus sp KN02, Mucor sp KN03 and Aspergillus niger with
the highest amount of extractable chitosan obtained at the late exponential phase.
The amount of chitosan produced varied widely amongst isolates. Mucor sp
KN03 produced the highest amount of extractable chitosan per ml of substrate and
the highest yield of chitosan per unit mycelia mass.]]>Arcidiacono, S. and D.L. Kaplan,199239281286Arcidiacono, S., S.J. Lombardi and D.L.
