context_page_description: Chitobiose is a dimer of β-1,4-linked glucosamine units. There is ambiguity as to which structure the name refers, owing to the method by which it was first isolated.
  Chitobiose is the condensed form of 4‐O‐‐2‐amino‐2‐deoxy‐d‐glucose and is an acetylation disaccharide found in chitin.
  Chitobiose is utilized by B. burgdorferi to produced N-Acetylglucosamine, a component of the bacterial cell wall, and is regularized by the response regulator rrp1. A mutant strain of rrp1 has been found to cause growth deficits with B. burgdorferi.
  In Escherichia coli, the chb operon is involved with the utilization of cellobiose and β-glucosides chitobiose. The chbG gene of the chb Operon encodes a chitooligosaccharide deacetylase.
