Impact of Two High‐Fiber Dietary Transitions on Fecal Consistency and Microbiota Composition in Captive Dromedary Camels (Camelus dromedarius) With Chronic Recurrent Diarrhea: A Pilot Study

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
High‐fiber dietary interventions reshaped the gut microbiota of captive dromedaries with chronic recurrent diarrhea, but responses varied among individuals. Despite taxonomic shifts, microbial metabolic functions remained remarkably stable, supporting the resilience of the dromedary gut ecosystem and the use of fiber‐based dietary management.

Activated Carbon From Hardwood Residue

Lignocellulose is a by-product of furfural production and 2/3 of the left-over lignocellulose is used as a fuel in a boiler house and the rest 1/3 could be used as a raw material for activated carbon production.

Developing synthetic biology tools for lignocellulose degradation [PDF]

, 2014
Lignocellulose is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. Lignocellulose is abundant in nature and hence an attractive low cost feedstock for bioprocesses such as biofuel production.

Seasonal Gut Microbiome Variation Associated With Both Climate and Wildlife Tourism in Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We provide an early description of the gut microbiome of wild, free‐ranging Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon data from 123 fecal samples collected across 6 months in two Sri Lankan national parks, we found that gut microbiome composition varied significantly by sampling month and, to a lesser extent, by park.

Effect of adding surfactant for transforming lignocellulose into fermentable sugars during biocatalysing

, 2011
Fuel ethanol is one of the most important alternative fuels used as a substitute for fossil fuel. Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass resource for the production of fuel ethanol.

Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Research Progress on the Degradation of Lignocellulosic by White Rot Fungi

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable natural resource on the earth, but it is difficult to be degraded and utilized because of its dense fibrous structure.

Agricultural By‐Products and Black Soldier Fly Larvae Meal as Alternatives to Soybean Meal in Commercial Broiler Diets: Effects on Meat Quality, Fecal Microbiota, and Environmental Impact

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially replacing soybean meal with agricultural by‐products with or without supplementation of dried black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal on meat quality, intestinal microbiota of commercial broiler chickens, and environmental sustainability.

Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...
