Abstract
Chitosan, a derivative of chitin derived from the gladius of the marine cephalopod Doryteuthis sibogae, has drawn interest in biomedical research because of its possible antibacterial effects on human infections and inhibition of blood clotting. Chitosan was extracted from chitin isolated from the gladius of D. sibogae via demineralization and deproteination. Chitosan was structurally characterized using FT-IR, XRD, and FESEM. Additionally, the disc diffusion method was used to investigate the antibacterial efficacy of chitosan against three human pathogens. Effective antibacterial activity was demonstrated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms. Chitosan is a potent anticoagulant in anticoagulant assays employing activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT).
期刊介绍:
Process Biochemistry is an application-orientated research journal devoted to reporting advances with originality and novelty, in the science and technology of the processes involving bioactive molecules and living organisms. These processes concern the production of useful metabolites or materials, or the removal of toxic compounds using tools and methods of current biology and engineering. Its main areas of interest include novel bioprocesses and enabling technologies (such as nanobiotechnology, tissue engineering, directed evolution, metabolic engineering, systems biology, and synthetic biology) applicable in food (nutraceutical), healthcare (medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic), energy (biofuels), environmental, and biorefinery industries and their underlying biological and engineering principles.
