Cell:cell adhesion in sweet cherry fruit primarily due to pectins. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Rain cracking limits the production of sweet cherries wherever they are grown. Cracking occurs by the separation of neighboring cells along their cell walls (by cell:cell separation).

Improvement of β-Xylosidase and Endoxylanase Activities in Talaromyces amestolkiae by Genetic Manipulation of the Transcriptional Activator XlnR. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
The ascomycete Talaromyces amestolkiae is a promising source of glycosyl hydrolases for hemicellulose degradation, as it contains a considerably higher number of genes encoding these enzymes than other fungi exploited for plant biomass valorisation.

Comparison of microbial diversity and carbohydrate-active enzymes in the hindgut of two wood-feeding termites, Globitermes sulphureus (Blattaria: Termitidae) and Coptotermes formosanus (Blattaria: Rhinotermitidae). [PDF]

BMC Microbiol
Background Wood-feeding termites have been employed as sources of novel and highly efficient lignocellulolytic enzymes due to their ability to degrade lignocellulose efficiently.

An Engineered Laccase from <i>Fomitiporia mediterranea</i> Accelerates Lignocellulose Degradation. [PDF]

Biomolecules
Laccases from white-rot fungi catalyze lignin depolymerization, a critical first step to upgrading lignin to valuable biodiesel fuels and chemicals. In this study, a wildtype laccase from the basidiomycete Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fom_lac) and a variant

Enzymatic degradation of pea fibers changes pea protein concentrate functionality. [PDF]

Curr Res Food Sci
Pea proteins are gaining increased interest from both the food industry as well as from consumers. Pea protein isolates (PPI) excel at forming meat-like textures upon heating while pea protein concentrates (PPC) are more challenging to transform into ...
