Supplementing with non-glycoside hydrolase proteins enhances enzymatic deconstruction of plant biomass. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The glycoside hydrolases (GH) of Caldicellulosiruptor bescii are thermophilic enzymes, and therefore they can hydrolyze plant cell wall polysaccharides at high temperatures. Analyses of two C.

Functional metagenomics reveals novel β-galactosidases not predictable from gene sequences. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The techniques of metagenomics have allowed researchers to access the genomic potential of uncultivated microbes, but there remain significant barriers to determination of gene function based on DNA sequence alone.

Glycoside Hydrolases across Environmental Microbial Communities. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 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 ...

Several genes encoding enzymes with the same activity are necessary for aerobic fungal degradation of cellulose in nature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cellulose-degrading fungal enzymes are glycoside hydrolases of the GH families and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. The entanglement of glycoside hydrolase families and functions makes it difficult to predict the enzymatic activity of glycoside ...

Increase of intestinal bacterial sialidase activity exacerbates acute colitis in mice
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 The availability of endogenous and dietary carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal tract influences the composition of the gut microbiota. Carbohydrate foraging requires the action of bacterially-encoded glycoside hydrolases, which release mono- and ...
