Comparative Study of Antibacterial Activity of Chitin and Chemically Treated Chitosan Prepared from Shrimp (Macrobrachium Rosenbergii) Shell Waste
Journal of Virology and Microbiology
The antibacterial activity of chemically deacetylated chitin i.e. chitosan produced from shrimp shell. The antibacterial activity was tested against gram negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria, and gram positive (staphylococcus aureus) bacteria. To test the antibacterial activity institute of clinical laboratory standards (ICLS) approved dilution methods was…
