Metagenomics approach to identify lignocellulose-degrading enzymes in the gut microbiota of the Chinese bamboo rat cecum

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2021
Background: Lignocellulose is considered a renewable organic material, but the industrial production of biofuel from lignocellulose is challenging because of the lack of highly active hydrolytic enzymes.

Enzyme systems for fragmentation of the rhamnogalacturonan sites main chains in plant tissue protopectin complex

Пищевые системы, 2023
Special features of the protopectin complex structure of plant tissue suggest the necessity of performing point destruction of certain glycoside bonds in the structure of rhamnogalacturonan polymer chains for industrial production of pectin. These chains

Characterization of Glycoside Hydrolase Families 13 and 31 Reveals Expansion and Diversification of α-Amylase Genes in the Phlebotomine Lutzomyia longipalpis and Modulation of Sandfly Glycosidase Activities by Leishmania Infection

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Sugar-rich food sources are essential for sandflies to meet their energy demands, achieving more prolonged survival. The digestion of carbohydrates from food is mainly realized by glycoside hydrolases (GH). To identify genes coding for α-glycosidases and

Discovery of glycoside hydrolase enzymes in an avicel-adapted forest soil fungal community by a metatranscriptomic approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To discover the structural and functional novel glycoside hydrolase enzymes from soil fungal communities that decompose cellulosic biomass, transcripts of functional genes in a forest soil were analyzed.

A New Subfamily of Glycoside Hydrolase Family 30 with Strict Xylobiohydrolase Function

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
The Acetivibrioclariflavus (basonym: Clostridium clariflavum) glycoside hydrolase family 30 cellulosomal protein encoded by the Clocl_1795 gene was highly represented during growth on cellulosic substrates.

Crystal structure of a homotrimeric verrucomicrobial exo-β-1,4-mannosidase active in the hindgut of the wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes flavipes

Journal of Structural Biology: X, 2021
The termite Reticulitermes flavipes causes extensive damage due to the high efficiency and broad specificity of the ligno- and hemicellulolytic enzyme systems produced by its symbionts. Thus, the R.

Functional metagenomics reveals novel β-galactosidases not predictable from gene sequences. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The techniques of metagenomics have allowed researchers to access the genomic potential of uncultivated microbes, but there remain significant barriers to determination of gene function based on DNA sequence alone.

New glycoside hydrolase families of β-1,2-glucanases. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstractβ‐1,2‐Glucans are natural glucose polymers produced by bacteria and play important physiological roles, including as symbiotic or pathogenic factors and in osmoregulation. Glycoside hydrolase (GH) families related to β‐1,2‐glucan metabolism (GH144, GH162, and GH189) have recently been created by identification of two β‐1,2‐glucanases and a β‐1 ...
