Chitooligosaccharide

Moreover, the lipo-chitooligosaccharides, also known as nod factors, permit nitrogen fixation by which plants and symbiotic Rhizobia bacteria can reduce atmospheric nitrogen to the ammonia that is utihzed by the plant, thus making available nitrogen compounds to other living organisms. 

Therefore, the ability of certain POs to bind with chitin is a widespread phenomenon and -possibly - connected with the defence reactions of the organisms to pathogen attacks. Since it was shown that some biogenic molecules - such as chitooligosaccharides or salicylic acid -can activate an anionic POs, we might suggest that an application of these compounds optimises the process of anionic PO isolation with a chitin.

Hydroxybutyric acid-hydroxyvaleric acid copolymer membranes were treated with ozone and grafted with acrylic acid. The membranes were further grafted with chitosan or chitooligosaccharide via esterification and immobilised with hyalmonic acid. Antibacterial activities were investigated. Surface properties were characterised using a water contact angle goniometer. 26 refs.

In most of the examples reported to date, from mono- to tetrasaccharides, the observed effects on chemical shifts and line broadening indicate that the interaction is basically rapid on the chemical-shift NMR timescale. For extended chitooligosaccharides, the process takes place more slowly. Association...
