Members of the Candida parapsilosis complex and Candida albicans are differentially recognized by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The systemic infections caused by members of the Candida parapsilosis complex are currently associated to high mobility and mortality rates, and are considered as relevant as those caused by Candida albicans. Since the fungal cell wall is the first point

Immune responses to airborne fungi and non-invasive airway diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Inhalation of fungal particles is a ubiquitous way of exposure to microorganisms during human life; however, this exposure may promote or exacerbate respiratory diseases only in particular exposure conditions and human genetic background.

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

open access: yesChemPhysChem, 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.

Stem Microsome Preparation and Mannan Synthase Activity Assay

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2013
Mannans are hemicellulosic polysaccharides and are present in cell walls of all land plants. Mannan polysaccharides are synthesized by two enzymes, mannan synthase (ManS) for backbone (mannan or glucomannan) synthesis and galactomannan galactosyl ...

Microbial Cell Factories / Efficient recombinant expression and secretion of a thermostable GH26 mannan endo-1,4-\u3b2-mannosidase from Bacillus licheniformis in Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Mannans are one of the key polymers in hemicellulose, a major component of lignocellulose. The Mannan endo-1,4-\u3b2-mannosidase or 1,4-\u3b2- D -mannanase (EC 3.2.1.78), commonly named \u3b2-mannanase, is an enzyme that can catalyze random ...

Pyrogenicity of Yeast Mannans in Rabbits [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, 1984
AbstractA few yeast mannans free from protein and phosphorus showed pyrogenic activity in rabbits although the extent of this activity was considerably lower than that of the bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The pyrogenic activity was not abolished by treatment with sodium deoxycholate. This result showed that the mannans themselves participated in

Health Benefits of Polysaccharides in Red Algae: A Comprehensive Review

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract showing the health benefits of red algal polysaccharides. ABSTRACT Humans have long consumed red algae (especially by the Asian community), and their polysaccharide extracts (carrageenan, agar) are extensively used in the food industry as gel thickeners.

Impact of dietary-nucleotides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derivatives on growth-performance, antioxidant-capacity, immune-response, small-intestine histomorphometry, caecal-Clostridia, and litter-hygiene of broiler-chickens treated with florfenicol

open access: yesInternational Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine
Stress in poultry production is energy-demanding. Nucleotides and yeast cell-wall products are essential nutrients for broiler performance, gut function, and immune response. Antibiotics, like florfenicol, negatively affect the immune system.

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

open access: yesMicrobial 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 ...
