Cloning, expression in Pichia pastoris, and characterization of a thermostable GH5 mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase from Aspergillus niger BK01

Microbial Cell Factories, 2009
Background Mannans are key components of lignocellulose present in the hemicellulosic fraction of plant primary cell walls. Mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidases (1,4-β-D-mannanases) catalyze the random hydrolysis of β-1,4-mannosidic linkages in the main chain ...

Mannan biotechnology: from biofuels to health [PDF]

Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2015
Mannans of different structure and composition are renewable bioresources that can be widely found as components of lignocellulosic biomass in softwood and agricultural wastes, as non-starch reserve polysaccharides in endosperms and vacuoles of a wide variety of plants, as well as a major component of yeast cell walls.

Food Addiction Is Strongly Associated With Psychopathology and Reduced Psychological Well‐Being Among Adults Irrespective of BMI

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Food addiction has been linked to psychopathology and reduced psychological well‐being. Here, we investigated whether these associations are mainly driven by food addiction itself or mediated via an increase in BMI. Methods Data stem from a nationwide survey from Denmark (n = 1474 participants).

Galactanases and Mannanases Improve the Nutritive Value of Maize and Soybean Meal Based Diets for Broiler Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2006
Maize and soybean meal are the most common ingredients in diets for monogastric animals. Although maize is low in anti-nutritive factors, soybean meal often contains significant levels of soluble galactans, mannans or oligosaccharides of the raffinose ...

Applications of Microbial β-Mannanases

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Mannans are main components of hemicellulosic fraction of softwoods and they are present widely in plant tissues. β-mannanases are the major mannan-degrading enzymes and are produced by different plants, animals, actinomycetes, fungi, and bacteria. These

Starmerella bacillaris Yeast Derivatives for Improving Wine Stability: Effect of Cell Wall Composition and Extraction Techniques

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Yeast derivatives from S. bacillaris showed superior protein haze reduction in wine compared to those from S. cerevisiae, with the most effective results from alkaline extraction. The consistently higher glucose content in S. bacillaris derivatives suggests the presence of (gluco)mannoproteins of high molecular weight, a feature not previously reported

A Review on Potentially Probiotic Yeasts From Traditional Fermented Products in Sub‐Saharan Africa for Sustainable Food Systems and Improved Health

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the potential of sub‐Saharan African fermented food products as sources of probiotic yeasts for improved food security and health. ABSTRACT Research on probiotic yeasts from fermented products in sub‐Saharan Africa was limited in the past, but there is currently a surge in investigative efforts in this field.

Modern mannan: a hemicellulose's journey

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 ...

Optimization of bioactive compounds extraction from Rosa canina L. pseudofruit through the action of two hydrolytic enzyme preparations

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKROUND The pseudo‐fruit of Rosa canina L. is a rich source of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐cancer, anti‐diabetic, anti‐aging, and antimicrobial activities. The aim of the present study is the optimization of a green process based on the action of two hydrolytic enzyme preparations, namely Pectinex® Ultra ...

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.
