Chitin degradation by the facultatively aerobic cellulolytic bacterium Cellulomonas uda
Microbes, traditionally characterized by their capacity to decompose cellulose anaerobically, were examined for the ability to degrade the chemically-related polymer, chitin. Our results suggest that the ability to degrade and utilize chitin as a source of nitrogen might be widespread among cellulol...
