Abstract
This study focuses on chitosan production from three fungal strains. Two of them namely; Cunninghamela elegans RCMB 012002 and Mucor rouxii RCMB 015002 were obtained from Regional Centre for Fungi at Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt. While the third one was isolated, purified and identified by 18S rDNA sequences to Rhizopus stolonifer strain OSMR1 (NCBI accession number: KT156970). The chitosan produced by the fungal strains was characterized by FTIR to evaluate the degree of deacetylation (DD) of it; the DD was 80.30, 81.50 and 80.30 % with M. rouxii, R. stolonifer and C.
