Isolation and Characterization of Chitosans from Different Fungi with Special Emphasis on Zygomycetous Dimorphic Fungus : Evaluation of Its Chitosan Nanoparticles for the Inhibition of Human Pathogenic Fungi.

The cell wall chitosan was extracted from fungi belonging to different taxonomic classes, namely, (Zygomycetes, dimorphic), , , , and (Ascomycetes, yeasts), and and (Basidiomycetes). The maximum yield of chitosan was 60.89 ± 2.
