Cellulose, the most abundant of all biopolymers, is extremely stable but is attacked by a host of bacterial and fungal (3-glycanases.96 Animals do not ordinarily produce cellulases but some termites do.97 Cellulase structures are varied, being represented by 10 of 57 different glycosylhydrolase families.98 Most, like lysozyme, retain the P configuration in their products but some invert.98 100...

The only way for microbes to enter a healthy plant is via the stomata or at sites of injury, inflicted by herbivory, wind, or other accidents. At the site of wounding, plants often accumulate suberin, lignin, callose, gums, or other resinous substances which close off the respective areas (4.17). In addition, antimicrobial agents are produced such as lysozyme and chitinase, lytic enzymes stored in the vacuole which can degrade bacterial and fungal cell walls, protease inhibitors which can inhibit microbial proteases, or secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity. 

Lysozyme is a good example of an enzyme that catalyzes chemical reactions in the cell. Lysozyme acts to kill bacteria by cleaving the covalent bond between the alternating polysaccharides that compose peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls. The human salivary defense proteins and lysozyme are known to exert a wide antimicrobial activity against a number of bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens in vitro. Therefore, these proteins, alone or in combinations, have been incorporated as preservatives in foods and pharmaceuticals as well as in oral health care products to restore saliva s own antimicrobial capacity in patients with dry mouth. These antimicrobials used in oral health... 

While the inhibitor is selective for a particular subtllis protease, it is active on at least two fungal proteases [6]. In addition a substantial fraction of inhibitor activity is released upon treatment of cells with lysozyme, A surface location is thus possible, consistent with the presence of an E. coli inhibitor in the periplasm The latter is active on subtilisin and pancreatic proteases but not on any of the known E, coli intracellular proteases. It should also be noted that the major intracellular serine protease of B, subtilis has been deleted by integration of a modified cloned gene with no adverse affect on sporulation [8], There is thus no evidence that this protease is essential for sporulation except indirectly via a role in protein turnover [8],... 

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide of (l-4)-glycosidic bonds derived from the exoskeletons of animals such as crustaceans, mollusks, and insects (Alves and Mano, 2008, Lu et al., 2009). It can also be extracted from the fungal fermentation processes. It is a biocompatible and biodegradable cationic biopolymer obtained from deacetylation of chitin in an alkaline environment (Alves and Mano, 2008), but is known to cause slight inflammation in mammals. The biodegradation rate of chitosan is determined by the residual acetyl content, a parameter that can be easily tuned. The major pathway for the biodegradation in vivo is through lysozyme which depolymerizes the polysaccharide. It has been used for many medical applications due to its low-toxicity and acceptable biocompatibility. Recently, temperature-sensitive variations of chitosan have been developed.
