Chitosan-induced permeabilization in yeast and its use for in situ enzymatic measurements

Chitosan is an oligosaccharide derived from chitin that is protonated at acidic pH to form a polycation. Its positive charge promotes interaction with negatively charged components of the yeast cell envelope, which has been associated with increased cell permeability and growth inhibition. In this study, we inves...
