Necromass chemistry drives the functional diversity of the necrobiome, resulting in microbe–organic matter feedbacks

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1339-1351, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.

A beta-xylosidase from cell wall of maize: Purification, properties and its use in hydrolysis of plant cell wall [PDF]

, 2010
To study the potential of plant glycoside hydrolase for hemicelluloses hydrolysis, a beta-xylosidase with molecular weight of 68.5 kDa was purified from the maize during senescent stage.

Wildfire strengthens the relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in subtropical forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1415-1427, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Wildfires are disrupting and regenerating forces in nature that affect all ecosystem components. However, the impact of wildfires on soil multitrophic biodiversity and the resulting consequences for ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) remain poorly understood.

Investigation of β-xylosidase, α-L-arabinofuranosidase and acetylesterase from Thermotoga hypogea [PDF]

, 2008
Hemicellulases are key components in the degradation of plant biomass and carbon flow in nature. Thermotoga hypogea is a bacterium that can grow anaerobically at 90°C. It utilizes carbohydrates and peptides as energy and carbon sources.

Optimization of β-Glucosidase, β-Xylosidase and Xylanase Production by Colletotrichum graminicola under Solid-State Fermentation and Application in Raw Sugarcane Trash Saccharification [PDF]

, 2013
Efficient, low-cost enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic residues is essential for cost-effective production of bioethanol. The production of β-glucosidase, β-xylosidase and xylanase by Colletotrichum graminicola was optimized using Response Surface ...

Beech decline reshapes fine root traits, microbial composition and soil carbon–nutrient cycling

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights the critical role of rhizosphere interactions in nutrient cycling and tree health. It was found that tree decline triggers cascading effects that influence fine root, microbial communities and soil enzyme activities in the rhizosphere.

Survey of the genome of opitutus terrae and other organisms for novel carbohydrate-active enzyme specificities [PDF]

Lignocellulose is the major component of the plant cell wall and is a sustainable source of inexpensive abundant biomass. Efficient degradation of the lignocellulosic polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicellulose, is required if the plant cell wall is to ...

Printed PHBV‐Based Sensors as a Real‐Time Proxy for Soil Microbial Decomposer Activity During Drought and Flood Recovery

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Novel sensors that can be made cheaply (1) are deployed in multiple pots (2). These have either nutrient‐poor soil with a biodiverse community or arable soil with wheat plants which are subjected to droughts and flood stresses (2). We show the sensors can track decomposition through time at high temporal resolution while and after the pots are stressed,

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of a thermostable glycoside hydrolase family 43 β-xylosidase from Geobacillus thermoleovorans IT-08 [PDF]

, 2007
The main enzymes involved in xylan-backbone hydrolysis are endo-1,4-β-xylanase and β-xylosidase. β-Xylosidase converts the xylo-oligosaccharides produced by endo-1,4-β-xylanase into xylose monomers.
