Chitin is something that is synthesized naturally in arthropods (crustaceans, insects, etc.) and fungi. So, it doesn't have to be created in a lab...it's much easier to harvest it from existing biological sources.
Once harvested, you separated it out from exoskeleton material (such as from shrimp, etc.).
However, if you wanted to synthesize it, you polymerize D-glucosamine with beta linkages into the polymer chitosan. Then, you acetylate that (add acetyl groups) to the nitrogen atoms of the amino group on the D-glucosamine subunits, and you have N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymer, also known as chitin.

These black flakes are flea dirt or (poop). Your cat or kittens has fleas and these flakes are the poop.
Does bacterial wall contain chitin?
As far as I'm aware - no. Chitin is present in the cell walls of funghi but I believe bacterial cell walls are mostly made of proteoglycans.
What is chitin in fish?
While scales of fish are made of different materials (bone, cartilage, etc.), fish such as carp have scales that are made out of chitin (a polysaccharide that is both flexible and strong).
Why is colloidal silver used on horses?
Colloidal Silver is basically an immune enhancer for horses to protect them against fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Much the same that you received a booster shot as a kid this is the horse equivalent.

What is the name of the polysaccharide that is found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods?
Chitin is the polysaccharide found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of arthropods.
How you can prepare colliodal solution from true solution?
On excessive cooling may produce colloidal particles from true solution or a reaction with another substance may produce such solution.
