Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration for Chitosan Extracted from Metapeuous monoceros Against Gram Positive Bacteria, Gram Negative Bacteria and Fungi.
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Chitin is a polysaccharide of animal origin found abundantly in nature and characterized by a fibrous structure. It forms the basis of the main constituent of the outer skeleton of insects and crustaceans like shrimp, crabs and lobster. Chitosan has a broad antimicrobial spectrum to which gram-negative, gram-positive bacteria and fungi are highly susceptible. The activity dependence on polymeric molecular weight (MW) and degree of acetylation (DA) are described. The chitosan minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) are summarized from this study. The data indicate that the effectiveness of chitosan varies and is dependent on species of target microorganisms.
