The Role of Glycoside Hydrolases in S. gordonii and C. albicans Interactions. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2022 Cross-kingdom interactions between Candida albicans and oral streptococci such as Streptococcus gordonii have been reported. However, their interactions in a low-fermentable-carbohydrate environment like saliva is not clear. ABSTRACT Candida albicans can

Glycoside hydrolases in the biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass. [PDF]
3 Biotech, 2023 Lignocellulose is a plentiful and intricate biomass substance made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Cellulose and hemicellulose are polysaccharides characterized by different compositions and degrees of polymerization. As renewable resources, their applications are eco-friendly and can help reduce reliance on petrochemical resources.

Curation of characterized glycoside hydrolases of Fungal origin [PDF]
Database, 2011 Fungi produce a wide range of extracellular enzymes to break down plant cell walls, which are composed mainly of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. Among them are the glycoside hydrolases (GH), the largest and most diverse family of enzymes active on these substrates.
