Many organisms, including bacteria, are suited for breaking down chitin. However, in terms of how it is used in microorganisms, it is a strong polysaccharide material that is used to strength the cell walls of microorganisms (such as algae, fungi, etc.).
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.
Chitin
Yes, chitin is a heteropolysaccharide.
"chitin" comes from the French word "chitine", meaning the same substance, chitin.
Chitin.
The cell walls of fungi are made up of the glucosamine polymer chitin. The chitin of the fungal cell walls contain nitrogen.

Chitin makes the cell wall
Chitin is polymerized N-acetylglucosamine.
No, tree moss does not contain chitin. Chitin is a component of the exoskeleton of insects, arachnids, and crustaceans. Tree moss belongs to the plant kingdom and does not produce chitin in its structure.
Chitin is a structural carbohydrate that forms their exoskeleton
chitin, a structural polymer similar to the one found in the exoskeletons of insects, are reinforced with beta-glucans and chitin.
