Bifidobacterium β-Glucosidase Activity and Fermentation of Dietary Plant Glucosides Is Species and Strain Specific

Microorganisms, 2020
Dietary plant glucosides are phytochemicals whose bioactivity and bioavailability can be modified by glucoside hydrolase activity of intestinal microbiota through the release of acylglycones.

Honeybees Tolerate Cyanogenic Glucosides from Clover Nectar and Flowers

Insects, 2018
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) pollinate flowers and collect nectar from many important crops. White clover (Trifolium repens) is widely grown as a temperate forage crop, and requires honeybee pollination for seed set.

Modular metabolite assembly in Caenorhabditis elegans depends on carboxylesterases and formation of lysosome-related organelles

eLife, 2020
Signaling molecules derived from attachment of diverse metabolic building blocks to ascarosides play a central role in the life history of C. elegans and other nematodes; however, many aspects of their biogenesis remain unclear.

Spatial separation of the cyanogenic β-glucosidase ZfBGD2 and cyanogenic glucosides in the haemolymph of Zygaena larvae facilitates cyanide release [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Low molecular weight compounds are typically used by insects and plants for defence against predators. They are often stored as inactive β-glucosides and kept separate from activating β-glucosidases.

Synthesis of β-Maltooligosaccharides of Glycitein and Daidzein and their Anti-Oxidant and Anti-Allergic Activities

Molecules, 2010
The production of β-maltooligosaccharides of glycitein and daidzein using Lactobacillus delbrueckii and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) as biocatalysts was investigated. The cells of L.

Cytokinin N-glucosides: Occurrence, Metabolism and Biological Activities in Plants

Biomolecules, 2020
Cytokinins (CKs) are a class of phytohormones affecting many aspects of plant growth and development. In the complex process of CK homeostasis in plants, N-glucosylation represents one of the essential metabolic pathways.

Synthesis of Gentiooligosaccharides of Genistein and Glycitein and Their Radical Scavenging and Anti-Allergic Activity

Molecules, 2011
The synthesis of gentiooligosaccharides of genistein and glycitein using cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana as biocatalysts was investigated. The cells of E. perriniana glycosylated genistein and glycitein to give the corresponding 4'-O-b-glucosides,

Cyanogenesis in Arthropods: From Chemical Warfare to Nuptial Gifts

Insects, 2018
Chemical defences are key components in insect–plant interactions, as insects continuously learn to overcome plant defence systems by, e.g., detoxification, excretion or sequestration.

Helicobacter pylori cholesteryl α-glucosides contribute to its pathogenicity and immune response by natural killer T cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Approximately 10-15% of individuals infected with Helicobacter pylori will develop ulcer disease (gastric or duodenal ulcer), while most people infected with H. pylori will be asymptomatic.

In vitro stability and ex vivo absorption of thymol monoglucosides in the porcine gut

Animal, 2022
Thymol α-D-glucopyranoside (TαG) and thymol β-D-glucopyranoside (TβG) are believed to have different kinetic behaviours in the porcine gut than its parent aglycon thymol.
