Selective Isolation of Bifidobacterium From Human Faeces Using Pangenomics, Metagenomics, and Enzymology

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bifidobacterium, an important genus for human health, is difficult to isolate. We applied metagenomics, pangenomics, and enzymology to determine the dominant glycoside hydrolase (GH) families of Bifidobacterium and designed selective medium for ...

Treatment with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Glycoside Hydrolase PslG Combats Wound Infection by Improving Antibiotic Efficacy and Host Innate Immune Activity

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, nosocomial bacterial pathogen that forms persistent infections due to the formation of protective communities, known as biofilms.

Substrate specificity, regiospecificity, and processivity in glycoside hydrolase family 74

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019
Glycoside hydrolase family 74 (GH74) is a historically important family of endo-β-glucanases. On the basis of early reports of detectable activity on cellulose and soluble cellulose derivatives, GH74 was originally considered to be a “cellulase” family ...

How a Glycoside Hydrolase Recognizes a Helical Polyglucan [PDF]

Structure, 2017
Similarly to other biopolymers, linear polysaccharides can form double- or triple-helical structures. How enzymes recognize and manage this quaternary structure is an unresolved question. In this issue of Structure, Pluvinage et al. (2017) shed light on the structural complementarity between family GH81 glycoside hydrolase and the quaternary structure ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Ecophysiology of Freshwater Verrucomicrobia Inferred from Metagenome-Assembled Genomes

mSphere, 2017
Microbes are critical in carbon and nutrient cycling in freshwater ecosystems. Members of the Verrucomicrobia are ubiquitous in such systems, and yet their roles and ecophysiology are not well understood.

Microbial ecological memory of recurrent drought enhances host stress tolerance through enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Recurrent desiccation induced niche‐specific microbial ecological memory in the green part of Calohypnum plumiforme, marked by enrichment of plant‐beneficial bacteria, especially Methylobacterium and Sphingomonas, and functional shifts toward symbiosis and stress protection, potentially enhancing host tolerance within a “holobiont ecology memory ...

Transcriptomic analysis of Cryphonectria parasitica during the initial infection stages reveals a glycoside hydrolase that is required for fungal pathogenicity

Phytopathology Research
Chestnut blight, caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, is a notorious disease that severely harms chestnut species, leading to great economic and ecological loss worldwide. Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of C.

Herb5GluCon: A novel polyherbal formulation with dual-action inhibiting properties against oxidative stress and glycoside hydrolases – an in silico and in vitro approach

Phytomedicine Plus
Introduction: Oxidative stress contributes to hyperglycaemia by inducing the hyperactivity of alpha-amylase (AA) and alpha-glucosidase (AG) enzymes. The study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-glycoside hydrolase potential of a novel polyherbal ...
