PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Chitosan is an aminoglycan consisting of beta-(1->4)-linked D-glucosamine residues. It has a role as a plant activator, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, a vulnerary and an elicitor. It is an aminoglycan and an exopolysaccharide. It is a conjugate base of a cationic chitosan.
