Uptake of galacturonic acid in Erwinia chrysanthemi EC16 [PDF]
Uptake of [14C]galacturonic acid in Erwinia chrysanthemi was found to be stimulated during growth on pectin and its degradation products, saturated digalacturonic acid and galacturonic acid. Cells isolated from macerated potato tissue also showed increased levels of uptake activity for this molecule compared with those showed by glycerol-grown cells ...

Genome-wide analysis of the UDP-glucose dehydrogenase gene family in Arabidopsis, a key enzyme for matrix polysaccharides in cell walls [PDF]
Arabidopsis cell walls contain large amounts of pectins and hemicelluloses, which are predominantly synthesized via the common precursor UDP-glucuronic acid.

Scaling up and scaling down the production of galactaric acid from pectin using Trichoderma reesei
Background Bioconversion of d-galacturonic acid to galactaric (mucic) acid has previously been carried out in small scale (50–1000 mL) cultures, which produce tens of grams of galactaric acid.

Isolation and characterization of acetylated LM-pectins extracted from okra pods [PDF]
Pectin was isolated by aqueous extraction at pH 6.0 or 2.0 from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) pods. An isolation protocol was designed to extract pectin and to study the influence of the extraction pH on their composition and physicochemical ...

The regulatory and transcriptional landscape associated with carbon utilization in a filamentous fungus. [PDF]
Filamentous fungi, such as Neurospora crassa, are very efficient in deconstructing plant biomass by the secretion of an arsenal of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, by remodeling metabolism to accommodate production of secreted enzymes, and by enabling ...

Synthesis of Glycosides of Glucuronic, Galacturonic and Mannuronic Acids: An Overview
Uronic acids are carbohydrates present in relevant biologically active compounds. Most of the latter are glycosides or oligosaccharides linked by their anomeric carbon, so their synthesis requires glycoside-bond formation. The activation of this anomeric
