acetylated chitin + H2O	enzymatic deacetylation of chitinous substrates by AxeA is influenced by both substrate accessibility and mode of enzyme action. Barely acts on solid pure chitin whatever its form: native alpha-chitin and whiskers or native beta-chitin. But when chemically treated in strong alkali, chitin is partially deacetylated. The longer the alkali treatment, the more efficient the deacetylation of alkali-treated chitins	Streptomyces lividans	acetate + chitin	-	?
