Modern mannan: a hemicellulose's journey [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2022 SummaryHemicellulosic polysaccharides built of β‐1,4‐linked mannose units have been found throughout the plant kingdom and have numerous industrial applications. Here, I review recent advances in the biosynthesis and modification of plant β‐mannans. These matrix polymers can associate with cellulose bundles to impact the mechanical properties of plant ...

Softening-up mannan-rich cell walls [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2012 The softening and degradation of the cell wall (CW), often mannan enriched, is involved in several processes during development of higher plants, such as meristematic growth, fruit ripening, programmed cell death, and endosperm rupture upon germination ...

The human gut Firmicute Roseburia intestinalis is a primary degrader of dietary β-mannans
Nature Communications, 2019 How dietary β-mannans are utilized by gut Gram-positive bacteria is unclear. Here, the authors uncover the enzymatic pathway for β-mannan metabolism in Roseburia intestinalis and show that these polysaccharides promote beneficial gut bacteria ...
