Metatranscriptome Profiling of a Specialized Microbial Consortium during the Degradation of Nixtamalized Maize Pericarp

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Lignocellulose degradation by microbial consortia is multifactorial; hence, it must be analyzed from a holistic perspective. In this study, the temporal transcriptional activity of consortium PM-06, a nixtamalized maize pericarp (NMP) degrader, was ...

In silicomodelling of the function of disease-related CAZymes

Essays in Biochemistry, 2023
AbstractIn silico modelling of proteins comprises a diversity of computational tools aimed to obtain structural, electronic, and/or dynamic information about these biomolecules, capturing mechanistic details that are challenging to experimental approaches, such as elusive enzyme-substrate complexes, short-lived intermediates, and reaction transition ...

Uncovering CAZyme Induction in the Thermophilic Fungus Thermoascus Aurantiacus [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Background: Filamentous fungi are excellent lignocellulose degraders, which they achieve through producing carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes). CAZyme production is highly orchestrated and the application of –omics methods such as RNA-Seq has greatly expanded understanding of this important biotechnological process.

Plasma Metabolites and Liver Composition of Broilers in Response to Dietary Ulva lactuca with Ulvan Lyase or a Commercial Enzyme Mixture

Molecules, 2022
The effect of a high incorporation level of Ulva lactuca, individually and supplemented with a Carbohydrate-Active enZyme (CAZyme) on broilers’ plasma parameters and liver composition is assessed here.

“CATAStrophy,” a Genome-Informed Trophic Classification of Filamentous Plant Pathogens – How Many Different Types of Filamentous Plant Pathogens Are There?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The traditional classification of fungal and oomycete phytopathogens into three classes – biotrophs, hemibiotrophs, or necrotrophs – is unsustainable. This study highlights multiple phytopathogen species for which these labels have been inappropriately ...
