Genome-wide identification of chitinase genes in Thalassiosira pseudonana and analysis of their expression under abiotic stresses
Abstract Background The nitrogen-containing polysaccharide chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer on earth and is found in the cell walls of diatoms, where it serves as a scaffold for biosilica deposition. Diatom chitin is an important source of carbon and nitrogen in the marine environment,...
