Hemicellulose hydrolysis catalysed by solid acids [PDF]
, 2013 Depolymerising hemicellulose into platform sugar molecules is a key step in developing the concept of an integrated biorefinery. This reaction is traditionally catalysed by either enzymes or homogeneous mineral acids.

L-Arabinose 1-dehydrogenase: A novel enzyme involving in bacterial L-arabinose metabolism [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2005 Azospirillum brasiliense converts L-arabinose to alpha-ketoglutarate via five hypothetical enzymatic steps. We purified and characterized L-arabinose 1-dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.46) catalyzing conversion of L-arabinose to L-arabino-gamma-lactone as an enzyme involved in the first step of this L-arabinose metabolic pathway.

Arabinose biosynthesis is critical for salt stress tolerance in Arabidopsis.
New Phytologist, 2019 The capability to maintain cell wall integrity is critical for plants to adapt to unfavourable conditions. l-Arabinose (Ara) is a constituent of several cell wall polysaccharides and many cell wall-localised glycoproteins, but so far the contribution of ...

Novel strategies to improve co-fermentation of pentoses with D-glucose by recombinant yeast strains in lignocellulosic hydrolysates [PDF]
, 2012 Economically feasible production of second-generation biofuels requires efficient co-fermentation of pentose and hexose sugars in lignocellulosic hydrolysates under very harsh conditions. Baker’s yeast is an excellent, traditionally used ethanol producer

Ferric uptake regulator Fur is conditionally essential in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
, 2017 In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein controls both metabolism and virulence in response to iron availability. Differently from other bacteria, attempts to obtain fur deletion mutants of P. aeruginosa failed, leading to the

Identification of an l-Arabinose Reductase Gene in Aspergillus niger and Its Role in l-Arabinose Catabolism [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 The first enzyme in the pathway for l-arabinose catabolism in eukaryotic microorganisms is a reductase, reducing l-arabinose to l-arabitol. The enzymes catalyzing this reduction are in general nonspecific and would also reduce d-xylose to xylitol, the first step in eukaryotic d-xylose catabolism.

New insights into enterocin CRL35: mechanism of action and immunity revealed by heterologous expression in Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2017 The role of the class IIa bacteriocin membrane receptor protein remains unclear, and the following two different mechanisms have been proposed: the bacteriocin could interact with the receptor changing it to an open conformation or the receptor might act
