The African Journal of Biotechnology (AJB), a new broad-based journal, was founded on two key tenets: To publish the most exciting research in all areas of applied biochemistry, industrial microbiology, molecular biology, genomics and proteomics, food and agricultural technologies, and metabolic engineering. Secondly, to provide the most rapid turn-around time possible for reviewing and publishing, and to disseminate the articles freely for teaching and reference purposes. All articles published in AJB are peer-reviewed. The African Journal of Biotechnology is published monthly (one volume per year) by Academic Journals.

Preparing chitosan solutions from shrimp shells for rice production was investigated. The chitosan produced from shrimp shells using dilute acetic acid proved effective in controlling plants infection by microbial agents leading to higher yields. The field data of our studies showed that the yields of rice significantly increased(~31%)after applying chitosan solution. In general, applying chitosan increased rice production and reduced cost of production significantly. Key words:Chitosan solution, rice production, common brown backed rice plant hoppers

It was found that in 30 min, AE/ChS and GCBE/ChS complexes powders were completely dissolved in 0.1 mol/L HCl solution because ChS is readily soluble in acidic solutions [48]. Similarly, AE/ChS complex powder was also dissolved in acetate buffer (pH = 4.1).
