Antigenic Relatedness between Mannans from Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii Spherules and Mycelia

Journal of Fungi
Immunoassays for cell wall mannans that are excreted into serum and urine have been used as an aid in the diagnosis of many disseminated fungal infections, including coccidioidomycosis.

Screening of Mannane-Degrading Enzymes Producers [PDF]

Mikrobiolohichnyi Zhurnal, 2016
The aim of research was to investigate the prevalence of complex mannan-degrading enzymes among museum and freshly isolated cultures of micromycetes, actinobacteria and bacteria. It has been shown that the producers of β-mannanases mostly extracted from sources that are rich in plant residues. We detected strains of Penicillium aculeatum, P. tardum and

The Formation of Covalent Linkages in Lignocellulosic Biomass via the Oxocarbenium Intermediate

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
Density functional theory models show that the hydrated and acidic hemicellulose matrix in lignocellulosic biomass can generate oxocarbenium ions. These reactive intermediates can participate in the stable formation of glycosidic lignin‐carbohydrate covalent linkages, promoting recalcitrance in plant biomass.

Gut Microbiota–Metabolism Axis Shapes the Individual Metabolic Phenotype of Different Microbiota‐Accessible Carbohydrates

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Specific MAC bioactivities are associated with gut biotransformation. ABSTRACT Increasing the intake of microbiota‐accessible carbohydrates (MACs) has emerged as a promising nutritional strategy for preventing metabolic diseases. However, the consistency of their beneficial effects remains unclear, hindering their optimized application.

Purification, Structural Characterization, and Anticancer Activity of the Polysaccharide From Sea Red Rice Bran

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Sea red rice bran polysaccharides were separated and purified by DEAE‐52 column chromatography, yielding three components: SRBP‐I, II, and III. Moreover, all three are pentosan‐type polysaccharides predominantly composed of mannose. Among them, SRBP‐I demonstrated the most potent inhibitory effect on HeLa cells. Further investigation indicated that the

The Rare Presentation of Deep Dermatophytosis‐Trichophyton in an Immunosuppressed Patient

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dermatophytes typically cause superficial skin infections characterized by an active border. However, they can present atypically invading deeper in immunocompromised patients. We present a case of a 72‐year‐old woman with bullous pemphigoid who had received oral prednisolone for 3 months and developed umbilicated papules.

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.
