Glycoside Hydrolases across Environmental Microbial Communities
Across many environments microbial glycoside hydrolases support the enzymatic processing of carbohydrates, a critical function in many ecosystems. Little is known about how the microbial composition of a community and the potential for carbohydrate processing relate to each other.

Glycoside hydrolase activities of thermophilic bacterial consortia adapted to switchgrass [PDF]
Industrial-scale biofuel production requires robust enzymatic cocktails to produce fermentable sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. Thermophilic bacterial consortia are a potential source of cellulases and hemicellulases adapted to harsher reaction ...

Differential Efficacy of Glycoside Hydrolases to Disperse Biofilms [PDF]
Chronic wounds will impact 2% of the United States population at some point in their life. These wounds are often associated with a reoccurring, chronic infection caused by a community of microorganisms encased in an extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), or a biofilm.

Degradation of switchgrass by Bacillus subtilis 1AJ3 and expression of a beta-glycoside hydrolase
Increasing demand for carbon neutrality has led to the development of new techniques and modes of low carbon production. The utilization of microbiology to convert low-cost renewable resources into more valuable chemicals is particularly important. Here,

Expression of the C-terminal family 22 carbohydratebinding module of xylanase 10B of Clostridium themocellum in tobacco plant [PDF]
Carbohydrate-binding modules have been shown to alter plant cell wall structural architecture. Hence, they have the potential application of being used to engineer the plant to produce tailor-made natural fibers in the cell wall.

Replacement of the Catalytic Nucleophile Aspartyl Residue of Dextran Glucosidase by Cysteine Sulfinate Enhances Transglycosylation Activity [PDF]
Dextran glucosidase from Streptococcus mutans (SmDG) catalyzes the hydrolysis of an α-1,6-glucosidic linkage at the nonreducing end of isomaltooligosaccharides and dextran.
