Efficacy and safety of biofilm dispersal by glycoside hydrolases in wounds [PDF]
Biofilm, 2021 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 ...

Fungal Glycoside Hydrolases Display Unique Specificities for Polysaccharides and Staphylococcus aureus Biofilms [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 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 ...

Genomic and Transcriptomic Evidence for Carbohydrate Consumption Among Microorganisms in a Cold Seep Brine Pool [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 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

Forgotten Actors: Glycoside Hydrolases During Elongation Growth of Maize Primary Root [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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.

Differential Efficacy of Glycoside Hydrolases to Disperse Biofilms [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 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 ...

GH97 is a new family of glycoside hydrolases, which is related to the α-galactosidase superfamily [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2005 Background As a rule, about 1% of genes in a given genome encode glycoside hydrolases and their homologues. On the basis of sequence similarity they have been grouped into more than ninety GH families during the last 15 years.

Genes for degradation and utilization of uronic acid-containing polysaccharides of a marine bacterium Catenovulum sp. CCB-QB4 [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 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 ...

High resolution crystal structure of the Endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase responsible for the deglycosylation of hypocrea jecorina cellulases [PDF]
, 2012 Endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidases (ENGases) hydrolyze the glycosidic linkage between the two N-acetylglucosamine units that make up the chitobiose core of N-glycans. The endo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidases classified into glycoside hydrolase family
