Abstract
The present invention is directed to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine obtained from microbial biomass, and to methods of obtaining N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from microbial biomass. In particular, the present invention is directed to the use of fungal biomass to create N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. The N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is efficiently obtained at high purity by degrading chitin in the fungal biomass to create N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
