The book will represents a milestone for future researchers by taking into account the known archaic function of chitinases and the new description of chitin and chitinases roles in innate immunity. This recently discovered role has likely been vital in the process of genetic selection. 606 $aChitin 606 $aChitinase 615 0$aChitin. 615 0$aChitinase. 676 $a573.7/74 701 $aMusumeci$b Salvatore$01193372 701 $aPaoletti$b M.
