Acarbose impairs gut Bacteroides growth by targeting intracellular glucosidases

mBio
Acarbose is a type 2 diabetes medicine that prevents dietary starch breakdown into glucose by inhibiting host amylase and glucosidase enzymes. Numerous gut species in the Bacteroides genus enzymatically break down starch and change in relative abundance ...

Contribution of enzyme preparations to the linalool content of wines made from the non-aromatic grapevine variety ‘Furmint’ (Vitis vinifera L.)

OENO One, 2012
Aim: Terpene compounds were tentatively identified and quantified in musts and wines made from the non-aromatic grape variety ‘Furmint’ (Vitis vinifera L.) after individual treatments with seven different commercial enzyme preparations.

Mechanism of activation of glucocerebrosidase by CO-β-glucosidase (glucosidase activator protein) [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1981
The nature of the stimulatory action of the protein 'coglucosidase' on glucocerebrosidase was investigated with the use of highly purified cofactor from bovine spleen, radioactive glucosyl ceramide and methylumbelliferyl-beta-glucoside. A complex between glucosidase and either substrate could not be detected under equilibrium and non-equilibrium ...

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New Dihydrofuro[3,2-b]piperidine Derivatives as Potent α-Glucosidase Inhibitors

Molecules
Inhibition of glycoside hydrolases has widespread application in the treatment of diabetes. Based on our previous findings, a series of dihydrofuro[3,2-b]piperidine derivatives was designed and synthesized from D- and L-arabinose.

Modulation of Lipogenesis and Glucose Consumption in HepG2 Cells and C2C12 Myotubes by Sophoricoside

Molecules, 2013
Sophoricoside, an isoflavone glycoside isolated from Sophora japonica (Leguminosae), has been widely reported as an immunomodulator. In this study, the effects of sophoricoside on lipogenesis and glucose consumption in HepG2 cells and C2C12 myotubes were

Effects of Cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum Supplementation on Fermentation Characteristics, In Situ Degradability, and Microbial Community Dynamics of Apple Pomace Silage

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum on the silage quality, in situ digestibility, and microbial communities of apple pomace silage. The combined supplementation of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum in apple pomace silage improved fermentation quality and enhanced rumen utilization efficiency.

A Multi-season Investigation of Microbial Extracellular Enzyme Activities in Two Temperate Coastal North Carolina Rivers: Evidence of Spatial but Not Seasonal Patterns

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Riverine systems are important sites for the production, transport, and transformation of organic matter. Much of the organic matter processing is carried out by heterotrophic microbial communities, whose activities may be spatially and temporally ...

Second‐Generation Polyhydroxybutyrate Production From Pretreated Corn Lignocellulosic Fraction as a Strategy to Repurpose by Products From the Corn‐Processing Chain

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lignocellulosic residues are non‐cost, non‐edible, renewable feedstocks that can be used in polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production. PHB is a bioplastic synthetized by microorganisms, formed intracellularly under stressful growth conditions; however, its production costs are high, representing the major drawback for fossil‐based plastics ...
