Biochemical Characterization and Degradation Pattern of a Novel Endo-Type Bifunctional Alginate Lyase AlyA from Marine Bacterium Isoptericola halotolerans

Marine Drugs, 2018
Alginate lyases are important tools to prepare oligosaccharides with various physiological activities by degrading alginate. Particularly, the bifunctional alginate lyase can efficiently hydrolyze the polysaccharide into oligosaccharides.

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.

A guide to the ecological limitations of phage therapy of bacterial biofilms: Is what's best for the phage best for the physician?

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Bacteriophages—viruses that kill bacteria—are promising weapons against bacterial biofilms: sessile communities notoriously resistant to antibiotics. Yet phages evolved not so much to eradicate bacteria as to obtain new bacteria to infect. That goal, however, may conflict with the physician's objective of complete bacterial clearance.

Polysaccharide biosynthetic pathway profiling and putative gene mining of Dendrobium moniliforme using RNA-Seq in different tissues

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Dendrobium moniliforme (Linnaeus) Swartz is a well-known plant used in traditional Chinese medicine due to bioactive constituents. Polysaccharides are the main medicinal ingredients, yet no studies have been published on polysaccharide ...

Transcriptional adapter ADA2 regulates yield and end‐use quality through liquid–liquid phase separation in wheat

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The transcriptional adapter ADA2 interacts with the histone acetyltransferase GCN5 to regulate starch and storage protein content in wheat grains through histone acetylation. ADA2 undergoes phase separation and is modulated by GCN5, affecting histone acetyltransferase activity and gene transcription.

Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Resolving Isomeric Structures in Natural Complex Carbohydrates: A Comparative Study of SLIM and Cyclic Ion Mobility Platforms

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Recent advances in ion mobility mass spectrometry (IMS) have led to the development of high‐resolution platforms such as cyclic IMS and SLIM IMS (structures for lossless ion manipulations), both offering enhanced capabilities for resolving complex biomolecular conformations.
