title: A new strain of Rhodococcus indonesiensis T22.7.1T and its functional potential for deacetylation of chitin and chitooligsaccharides
abstract: Product analysis revealed that <i>Ri</i>CDA treatment increased the deacetylation degree (DD) of natural chitin to 83%, surpassing that of commercial chitosan. Therefore, <i>Ri</i>CDA demonstrates significant potential as an efficient deacetylation tool for natural chitin and chitooligosaccharides, highlighting its applicability in the biorefining of natural polysaccharides.
