Rational protein design of Bacillus sp. MN chitosanase for altered substrate binding and production of specific chitosan oligomers

Journal of Biological Engineering, 2019
Background Partially acetylated chito-oligosaccharides (paCOS) have a variety of potential applications in different fields, but to harness their benefits, pure paCOS or well-defined paCOS mixtures are essential.

Sub-micron sized saccharide fibres via electrospinning [PDF]

, 2016
In this work, the production of continuous submicron diameter saccharide fibres is shown to be possible using the electrospinning process. The mechanism for the formation of electrospun polymer fibres is usually attributed to the physical entanglement of

CRISPR‐induced knockouts reveal a dual role for the soybean NFR5α gene in symbiotic nitrogen fixation and root hair development

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen fixation in soybeans, facilitated by symbiotic interactions with rhizobia, is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. However, the efficiency of symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) varies due to natural genetic variation in SNF‐related genes.

Effect of Chito-oligosaccharide Supplementation on Immunity in Broiler Chickens

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2008
Este estudio se realizó para determinar los efectos de la suplementación dietética de 100 mg/kg de quitooligosacárido (COS) o clortetraciclina (CTC) con harina de maíz, soja y pescado sobre la inmunidad en pollos de engorde. Se asignaron aleatoriamente un total de 147 pollos de engorde macho de un día de edad a 3 tratamientos con 7 corrales replicados ...

Effects of dietary chito-oligosaccharide and β-glucan on the water quality and gut microbiota, intestinal morphology, immune response, and meat quality of Chinese soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis)

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
Chito-oligosaccharides (COS) and β-glucan are gradually being applied in aquaculture as antioxidants and immunomodulators. However, this study examined the effects of dietary supplementation of COS and β-glucan on the water quality, gut microbiota ...
