Fungal Glycoside Hydrolases Display Unique Specificities for Polysaccharides and Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms [PDF]
Commercially available cellulases and amylases can disperse the pathogenic bacteria embedded in biofilms. This suggests that polysaccharide-degrading enzymes would be useful as antibacterial therapies to aid the treatment of biofilm-associated bacteria ...

Forgotten Actors: Glycoside Hydrolases During Elongation Growth of Maize Primary Root [PDF]
Plant cell enlargement is coupled to dynamic changes in cell wall composition and properties. Such rearrangements are provided, besides the differential synthesis of individual cell wall components, by enzymes that modify polysaccharides in muro.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Evidence for Carbohydrate Consumption Among Microorganisms in a Cold Seep Brine Pool [PDF]
The detailed lifestyle of microorganisms in deep-sea brine environments remains largely unexplored. Using a carefully calibrated genome binning approach, we reconstructed partial to nearly-complete genomes of 51 microorganisms in biofilms from the Thuwal

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 ...

Structure- and context-based analysis of the GxGYxYP family reveals a new putative class of Glycoside Hydrolase [PDF]
BackgroundGut microbiome metagenomics has revealed many protein families and domains found largely or exclusively in that environment. Proteins containing the GxGYxYP domain are over-represented in the gut microbiota, and are found in Polysaccharide ...

Efficacy and safety of biofilm dispersal by glycoside hydrolases in wounds [PDF]
Novel anti-biofilm and dispersal agents are currently being investigated in an attempt to combat biofilm-associated wound infections. Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes that hydrolyze the glycosidic bonds between sugars, such as those found within ...

Genes for degradation and utilization of uronic acid-containing polysaccharides of a marine bacterium Catenovulum sp. CCB-QB4 [PDF]
Background Oligosaccharides from polysaccharides containing uronic acids are known to have many useful bioactivities. Thus, polysaccharide lyases (PLs) and glycoside hydrolases (GHs) involved in producing the oligosaccharides have attracted interest in ...
