Genomic and Transcriptomic Insights into Carbon-Source and Temporal Induction of a Diverse Set of Lignocellulolytic Enzymes in Irpex lacteus QJ

open access: yesJournal of Fungi
The white-rot fungus Irpex lacteus is recognized for its strong ligninolytic and polysaccharide-degrading capacity, but the key advantages in degrading lignocellulose and the regulation of its enzyme systems remain poorly understood.

ApuA, a multifunctional x-glucan-degrading enzyme of Streptococcus suis, mediates adhesion to porcine epithelium and mucus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We have identified apuA in Streptococcus suis, which encodes a bifunctional amylopullulanase with conserved -amylase and pullulanase substrate-binding domains and catalytic motifs.

Unravelling the multiple functions of the architecturally intricate Streptococcus pneumoniae β-galactosidase, BgaA.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
Bacterial cell-surface proteins play integral roles in host-pathogen interactions. These proteins are often architecturally and functionally sophisticated and yet few studies of such proteins involved in host-pathogen interactions have defined the ...

A new way of valorizing biomaterials: the use of sunflower protein for 1 a-tocopherol microencapsulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Biopolymer based microparticles were efficiently prepared from sunflower protein (SP) wall material and a-tocopherol (T) active core using a spray-drying technique. Protein enzymatic hydrolysis and/or N-acylation were carried out to make some structural

Using Carbohydrate Interaction Assays to Reveal Novel Binding Sites in Carbohydrate Active Enzymes

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2016
Carbohydrate active enzymes often contain auxiliary binding sites located either on independent domains termed carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) or as so-called surface binding sites (SBSs) on the catalytic module at a certain distance from the active site.

The Phylogenomic Diversity of Herbivore-Associated Fibrobacter spp. Is Correlated to Lignocellulose-Degrading Potential

open access: yesmSphere, 2018
Members of the genus Fibrobacter are cellulose-degrading bacteria and common constituents of the gastrointestinal microbiota of herbivores. Although considerable phylogenetic diversity is observed among members of this group, few functional differences ...
