This study was devoted to polysaccharides extraction (chitin and chitosan) from Penicillium camembertii cell wall. A culture on solid medium was adopted under carefully selected conditions, appropriate to mycelium growth: duration 6 days, medium YPGA and pH 5. The temperature was adjusted (20 °C to 28 °C) in order to study the effect of temperature on chitin/chitosan production. Biomass decreased with increasing temperatures: 13 g/L at 20 °C and 11.6 g/L at 28 °C. For all tested temperatures, the yields of insoluble alkaline fractions (AIM) were almost identical (200 mg/g). The solubility of fractions in 2% acetic acid allowed obtaining two fractions: an insoluble fraction (AcIM) with 18% of maximum yield and soluble fraction (AcSM) with 1% yield. The SEM micrographs of AcIM fractions were similar to AIM fractions. These showed a compact structure different from commercial chitin. The presence of chitin in P. Camembertii cultured in YPGA medium was also confirmed by ATR spectroscopy.
