UDP-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + [1,4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)]n	Aspergillus nidulans	deletion of chsE causes a significant decrease in the chitin content of the cell wall during early sexual development. Expression of chsE is increased by substituting glucose with lactose or by addition of 0.6 M KCl or NaCl, but affected little by substituting glucose with sodium acetate. ChsE has a mode of expression distinct from those of the other chitin synthase genes, chsA, chsB and chsC	UDP + [1,4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl)]n+1	-	?
