Diet components as internal indicators in the determination of the apparent digestibility coefficients for Nile tilapia [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the diet components - crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin - as internal indicators in the determination of the apparent digestibility coefficients ...

Nanoscale dynamics of cellulose digestion by the cellobiohydrolase TrCel7A [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2021
Understanding the mechanism by which cellulases from bacteria, fungi, and protozoans catalyze the digestion of lignocellulose is important for developing cost-effective strategies for bioethanol production. Cel7A from the fungus Trichoderma reesei is a model exoglucanase that degrades cellulose strands from their reducing ends by processively cleaving ...

Effect of Different Fiber Sources as Additives to Wet Food for Beagle Dogs on Diet Acceptance, Digestibility, and Fecal Quality

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
In order to enhance the health and welfare of obese dogs and to facilitate the required loss of body weight, commercial diets are produced with fibrous ingredients. Cellulose is a common dietary fiber used mainly in powdered form.

Kinetics of Cellulose Digestion by Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1997
Growing cultures of Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 digested cellulose at a rapid rate, but nongrowing cells and cell extracts did not have detectable crystalline cellulase activity. Cells that had been growing exponentially on cellobiose initiated cellulose digestion and succinate production immediately, and cellulose-dependent succinate production could

Hemicelluloses negatively affect lignocellulose crystallinity for high biomass digestibility under NaOH and H₂SO₄ pretreatments in Miscanthus

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2012
Background Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth. However, biomass recalcitrance has become a major factor affecting biofuel production.

Metagenomic Analysis Reveals New Microbiota Related to Fiber Digestion in Pigs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Making full use of high fiber and low-cost crop coproducts is helpful to alleviate the situation of people and livestock competing for crops. Digestion of dietary fibers in pigs is mainly through microbial fermentation in the large intestine.

Cellulose digestion by freshwater microcrustacea1 [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 1984
Representatives of three diverse families of Cladocera incorporated [14C(U)]cellulose with efficiencies of 2.3–11.5%, corrected for gut retention on the basis of chloroform‐ and methanol‐soluble label in tissue homogenates. This finding supports recent speculation that some detrital carbon may be used by consumers or affiliated symbionts without ...

Effects of alkaline or liquid-ammonia treatment on crystalline cellulose: changes in crystalline structure and effects on enzymatic digestibility

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2011
Background In converting biomass to bioethanol, pretreatment is a key step intended to render cellulose more amenable and accessible to cellulase enzymes and thus increase glucose yields.
