Functional identification of two novel carbohydrate-binding modules of glucuronoxylanase CrXyl30 and their contribution to the lignocellulose saccharification

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Background Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 30 xylanases are a distinct group of xylanases, most of which have a highly specific catalytic activity for glucuronoxylan.

Comparative genome assembly [PDF]

Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2004
One of the most complex and computationally intensive tasks of genome sequence analysis is genome assembly. Even today, few centres have the resources, in both software and hardware, to assemble a genome from the thousands or millions of individual sequences generated in a whole-genome shotgun sequencing project.

cAMP and c-di-GMP synergistically support biofilm maintenance through the direct interaction of their effectors

Nature Communications, 2022
Nucleotide second messengers, such as cAMP and c-di-GMP, regulate many physiological processes in bacteria, including biofilm formation. Here, the authors provide evidence of cross-talk between cAMP and c-di-GMP pathways through direct interaction of ...

Observations on chromosome-specific sequencing for the construction of cross-species chromosome homology maps and its resolution of human:alpaca homology

Molecular Cytogenetics, 2022
Background The history of comparative chromosome mapping is briefly reviewed, with discussion about the problem that occurs in chromosome painting when size heteromorphisms between homologues cause contamination in chromosomes sorted by flow cytometry ...

Plasmodium comparative genomics [PDF]

Briefings in Functional Genomics, 2019
Malaria is a serious infectious disease caused by unicellular eukaryotic parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Today more than 200 species exist [1], and whole-genome sequence data is available for around 22 species [2]. At least five different Plasmodium species can infect humans, of which Plasmodium falciparum is the major cause of morbidity and ...

Recent advances and perspectives in efforts to reduce the production and application cost of microbial flocculants

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2021
Microbial flocculants are macromolecular substances produced by microorganisms. Due to its non-toxic, harmless, and biodegradable advantages, microbial flocculants have been widely used in various industrial fields, such as wastewater treatment ...

Carbohydrate-binding modules targeting branched polysaccharides: overcoming side-chain recalcitrance in a non-catalytic approach

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2021
Extensive decoration of backbones is a major factor resulting in resistance of enzymatic conversion in hemicellulose and other branched polysaccharides. Employing debranching enzymes is the main strategy to overcome this kind of recalcitrance at present.

One-step fermentation for producing xylo-oligosaccharides from wheat bran by recombinant Escherichia coli containing an alkaline xylanase

BMC Biotechnology, 2022
Background One-step fermentation is a cheap way to produce xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), where production of xylanases and XOS is integrated into a single process. In spite of cost advantage, one-step fermentation is still short in yield so far due to the

Dynamic changes in community structure and degradation performance of a bacterial consortium MMBC-1 during the subculturing revival reveal the potential decomposers of lignocellulose

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, 2022
Bacterial consortium is an important source of lignocellulolytic strains, but it is still a challenge to distinguish the direct decomposers of lignocellulose from other bacteria in such a complex community.

GenomeFingerprinter and universal genome fingerprint analysis for systematic comparative genomics [PDF]

, 2013
How to compare whole genome sequences at large scale has not been achieved via conventional methods based on pair-wisely base-to-base comparison; nevertheless, no attention was paid to handle in-one-sitting a number of genomes crossing genetic category ...
