Abstract in Portuguese
N-acetil-glucosamina é um composto de importância biotecnológica com grande potencial de aplicação nas áreas de farmácia, medicina e dermatologia. É atualmente produzido pela hidrólise química da quitina, o polissacarideo mais abundante no ambiente marinho e o principal constituinte do exoesqueleto dos artrópodes. No entanto, os processos geralmente utilizados são prejudiciais ao meio ambiente, têm baixo rendimento e alto custo. Este estudo demonstra um dos mais eficientes processos de produção enzimática de N-acetil-glucosamina a partir de -quitina utilizando quitinases bacterianas como uma alternativa sustentável aos processos atuais e isolados de A. caviae com grande potencial para produção de quitinases e derivados de quitina.

Abstract in English
N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is a compound of biotechnological importance with great application potential in the areas of pharmacy, medicine and dermatology. GlcNAc is currently produced by the chemical hydrolysis of chitin, the polysaccharide most abundant in the marine environment and the principal constituent of the exoskeleton of arthropods. However, the processes generally used are environmentally unfriendly, have low yield and high cost. This study demonstrates the most efficient processes for enzymatic production of N-acetyl-glucosamine from -chitin using bacterial chitinases as a sustainable alternative to the current processes and A. caviae isolates with great potential for chitinases and chitin derivatives production.
