Galacturonosyltransferase 4 silencing alters pectin composition and carbon partitioning in tomato

, 2013
Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as demonstrated by pectin-defective mutant phenotypes.

Safety of oil from Schizochytrium sp. A2 for use in infant and follow‐on formula as a novel food pursuant to regulation (EU) 2015/2283

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on the safety of an oil derived from the microalga‐like organism Schizochytrium sp. A2 as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283.

A network-based approach to identify substrate classes of bacterial glycosyltransferases [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Bacterial interactions with the environment-and/or host largely depend on the bacterial glycome. The specificities of a bacterial glycome are largely determined by glycosyltransferases (GTs), the enzymes involved in transferring sugar ...

Different Transcriptional Responses to Developmental Versus Short‐Term Acclimation Temperatures in Pieris rapae

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Transcriptomic data indicates that gene expression responses underlying developmental thermal plasticity differ from those of short‐term acclimation temperature in the butterfly Pieris rapae. We also identify a small subset of genes for which expression levels depend on the interaction of developmental temperature and short‐term acclimation temperature.

The Extracellular Matrix Across States: From Homeostasis to Dysfunction in Rare Connective Tissue Disorders

Proteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides a dynamic environment in which the fine balance between biosynthesis, degradation and/or maturation of matrix components critically governs its structure and function. It is well established that the ECM plays a central role not only in the physiological functions of tissues, but also in the pathogenesis

Interactions of Mucus Monosaccharides and the Epidermal Microbiome in Four Benthic Elasmobranchs

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Here we collected mucus and microbes from the skin of Elasmobranchs to identify interactions between mucus and the microbial community. We identified key microbial genes involved in the metabolism of mucus carbohydrates in Elasmobranchs. ABSTRACT Epidermal mucus is a complicated mixture of macromolecules which acts as the first line of defence for ...

Quorum sensing for improved production of industrially useful products from filamentous fungi [PDF]

, 2014
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density dependant phenomena utilized as a communication process among microorganisms to regulate their physiological responses. QS depends on the production and release of low molecular weight, diffusible chemical signalling

The return of metabolism: biochemistry and physiology of glycolysis

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 751-803, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Glycolysis is a fundamental metabolic pathway central to the bioenergetics and physiology of virtually all living organisms. In this comprehensive review, we explore the intricate biochemical principles and evolutionary origins of glycolytic pathways, from the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) pathway in humans to various prokaryotic and ...

Zebrafish as a model for Catel–Manzke syndrome—identification and characterization of the zebrafish TGDS ortholog

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2248-2269, April 2026.
Zebrafish Tgds, when expressed as a recombinant protein, catalyzes the dehydration of UDP‐D‐glucose, the initial step in the formation of 6‐deoxyhexoses. Corresponding Tgds mutations found in Catel–Manzke syndrome patients lead to reduced enzymatic activity and stability.

Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2541-2558, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.
