Résumé
The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. To this end, using shellfish waste as the sole carbon/nitrogen source solves environmental challenges while lowering microbial chitinase production costs. Bioconversion of shellfish chitin wastes such as shrimp shells has recently been investigated for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials in order to maximize the utilization of chitin-containing seafood processing wastes. In this study, the bioconversion of chitin to chitosan by Alcaligenes faecalis Alca F2018 revealed the highest chitin deacetylase (CDA) activity of 40.6 U/μg. The resulted low K
