Identification of yeast genes that confer resistance to chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) using chemogenomics

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a deacetylated derivative of chitin, is an abundant, and renewable natural polymer. COS has higher antimicrobial properties than chitosan and is presumed to act by disrupting/permeabilizing the cell me...
