Plant-polysaccharide-degrading enzymes from Basidiomycetes. [PDF]

Microbiol Mol Biol Rev, 2014
SUMMARY Basidiomycete fungi subsist on various types of plant material in diverse environments, from living and dead trees and forest litter to crops and grasses and to decaying plant matter in soils. Due to the variation in their natural carbon sources, basidiomycetes have highly varied plant-polysaccharide-degrading ...

Division of labor in honey bee gut microbiota for plant polysaccharide digestion. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019
Significance Honey bees and other social bees harbor specialized gut microbiota dominated by 5 coevolved bacterial clusters. Bees eat pollen, which contains diverse polysaccharides, energy-rich substrates potentially digested by gut bacteria ...

Divergent microbial communities in groundwater and overlying soils exhibit functional redundancy for plant-polysaccharide degradation. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2019
Light driven primary production by plants is the main source of biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. But also in subsurface habitats like aquifers, life is fueled largely by this plant-derived biomass.

Periodate oxidation of plant polysaccharides provides polysaccharide-specific oligosaccharides

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2022
Although polysaccharides are frequently used in foods, detailed characterization and/or identification of their structures using a single method remains a challenge. We investigated the suitability of periodate oxidation as an approach to depolymerize polysaccharides, allowing characterization and/or identification of the original polysaccharides based

Characterization of the regulation of a plant polysaccharide utilization operon and its role in biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2017
The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is often found in association with plants in the rhizosphere. Previously, plant polysaccharides have been shown to stimulate formation of root-associated multicellular communities, or biofilms, in this bacterium, yet ...

Critical Review of Plant Cell Wall Matrix Polysaccharide Glycosyltransferase Activities Verified by Heterologous Protein Expression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
The life cycle and development of plants requires the biosynthesis, deposition, and degradation of cell wall matrix polysaccharides. The structures of the diverse cell wall matrix polysaccharides influence commercially important properties of plant cells,

CAZome comparison in relation to host plant for selected Sordariomycete and Dothidiomycete plant pathogenic fungi [PDF]

Frontiers in Fungal Biology
IntroductionWhile most studies focus on the effectors involved in plant infection, another important aspect is the degradation of the plant cell wall, as this is the main physical barrier protecting the plant from pathogens.
