name: diacetylchitobiose catabolic process to glucosamine and acetate
namespace: biological_process
def: "The pathway resulting in the breakdown of diacetylchitobiose into simpler products, including glucosamine and glucosamine. The catabolism proceeds by the deacetylation of diacetylchitobiose, producing acetate and GlcN-GlcNAc; the latter is cleaved to produce glucosamine (GlcN) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). The N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is then deacetylated to produce glucosamine (GlcN) and acetate." [GOC:bf, GOC:mengo_curators, MetaCyc:PWY-6855, PMID:15136574, PMID:16232910, PMID:16736587]
