Diet‐Driven Divergence in Gut Microbiota Variation Between Two Sympatric Gerbil Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provide various benefits to their mammalian hosts; however, knowledge regarding interspecific differences in gut microecology remains limited. This study employed 16S rRNA sequencing combined with metagenomic functional prediction (potential functions or functional potential) to conduct a comparative analysis of the gut ...

cda1+, encoding chitin deacetylase is required for proper spore formation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
, 2005 In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a major role of chitin is to build up a complete spore. Here, we analyzed the cda1+ gene (SPAC19G12.03), which encodes a protein homologous to chitin deacetylases, to know whether it is required for spore formation in S ...

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.A proposed workflow for identifying polymer degrading enzymes from intact microbiomes. This strategy uses a ‘bait and switch’ microcosm pulse experiment, genotype–phenotype association analyses and experimental validation of candidates to identify novel chitin degrading enzymes from soil microbial communities.

Extremely Low Concentrations of Acetic Acid Stimulate Cell Differentiation in Rice Blast Fungus
iScience, 2020 Summary: Metabolic switching and rewiring play a dynamic role in programmed cell differentiation. Many pathogenic microbes need to survive in nutrient-deficient conditions and use the glyoxylate cycle, an anaplerotic pathway of the tricarboxylic acid ...

Next‐Generation Antioxidant Strategies: From Nanoformulations to Gene‐Targeted Therapies
cScience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Antioxidants play a pivotal role in neutralizing oxidative stress, a key factor in aging and chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. Although traditional antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, polyphenols, and endogenous enzymes have shown efficacy in laboratory and clinical studies, their therapeutic ...

Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Shewanella baltica ATCC BAA-1091
, 2017 Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase (COD) from bacteria that have been examined so far typically comprise two carbohydrate-binding domains (CBDs) and one polysaccharide deacetylase domain.

Enzymatic Modifications of Chitin, Chitosan, and Chitooligosaccharides
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019 Chitin and its N-deacetylated derivative chitosan are two biological polymers that have found numerous applications in recent years, but their further deployment suffers from limitations in obtaining a defined structure of the polymers using traditional ...

KNR4, a suppressor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cwh mutants, is involved in the transcriptional control of chitin synthase genes [PDF]
, 1999 The KNR4 gene, originally isolated by complementation of a K9 killer-toxinresistant mutant displaying reduced levels of both 1,3-b-glucan and 1,3-bglucan synthase activity, was recloned from a YCp50 genomic library as a suppressor of Saccharomyces ...

Shotgun analysis on the peritrophic membrane of the silkworm Bombyx mori [PDF]
BMB Reports, 2012 The insect midgut epithelium is generally lined with a uniquechitin and protein structure, the peritrophic membrane (PM),which facilitates food digestion and protects the gut epithelium.We used gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry toidentify the ...
