The Binary Toxin CDT of Clostridium difficile as a Tool for Intracellular Delivery of Bacterial Glucosyltransferase Domains

Toxins, 2018
Binary toxins are produced by several pathogenic bacteria. Examples are the C2 toxin from Clostridium botulinum, the iota toxin from Clostridium perfringens, and the CDT from Clostridium difficile.

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 2217-2234, November 2026.
Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all

Allelic Variation in gtfB–gtfC Region of Natural Variant of Streptococcus mutans Without Biofilm Formation

Bacteria
Streptococcus mutans is primarily found in biofilms on tooth surfaces and is associated with the development of dental caries. S. mutans synthesizes water-insoluble glucan (WIG) using sucrose as a substrate, inducing the formation of three-dimensional ...

Purification and properties of glucosyltransferase fromAureobasidium

Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 1994
Purification and properties of glucosyltransferase, which produces panose (Glc alpha 1-->6Glc alpha 1-->4Glc) and isomaltose (Glc alpha 1-->6Glc) from maltose (Glc alpha 1-->4Glc), are reported. The enzyme, from Aureobasidium, was purified to homogeneity by fractionations involving ammonium sulfate and DEAE-Cellulofine, S-Sepharose Fast Flow and ...

Chocolate mouth rinse: Effect on plaque accumulation and mutans streptococci counts when used by children

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, 2008
Background: Glucosyltransferases (GTF) play an important role in the adherence of bacteria to acquired pellicle. Cocoa bean husk extract (CBHE) has been shown to possess anti-glucosyltransferase and antibacterial activity.

Dual-Enzyme Biocatalytic Synthesis of Novel Rebaudioside M Analogs with Enhanced Aqueous Solubility, Physicochemical Stability, and Sensory Profiles

Foods
Rebaudioside M (RM), a steviol glycoside derived from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, has emerged as a promising next-generation zero-calorie sweetener. However, its low natural abundance and poor aqueous solubility limit its practical application in beverage
