| Abstract | ||
| In this study chitosan was isolated from the fungus Rhizopusorayzae by using yeast peptone glucose broth medium (YPG) at the late stationary phase. Chitosan production from mycelium reached to 15 mg/g as dry weight . 25% was the N-acetylation of chitosan while 96% for the D-glucosamine. Chitosan showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and reach to 20 , 15 and n 15 mm as inhibition zone respectively | ||
