Polysaccharide Utilization Loci: Fueling Microbial Communities [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2017 ABSTRACT The complex carbohydrates of terrestrial and marine biomass represent a rich nutrient source for free-living and mutualistic microbes alike. The enzymatic saccharification of these diverse substrates is of critical importance for fueling a variety of complex microbial communities, including marine, soil, ruminant, and ...

Multi-omic Directed Discovery of Cellulosomes, Polysaccharide Utilization Loci, and Lignocellulases from an Enriched Rumen Anaerobic Consortium [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 The lignocellulolytic ERAC displays a unique set of plant polysaccharide-degrading enzymes (with multimodular characteristics), cellulosomal complexes, and PULs. The MAGs described here represent an expansion of the genetic content of rumen bacterial genomes dedicated to plant polysaccharide degradation, therefore providing a valuable resource for the ...

Functional characterization of polysaccharide utilization loci in the marine Bacteroidetes ‘Gramella forsetii’ KT0803 [PDF]
ISME Journal, 2014 Abstract Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are abundant in many marine ecosystems and are known to have a pivotal role in the mineralization of complex organic substrates such as polysaccharides and proteins. We studied the decomposition of the algal glycans laminarin and alginate by ‘Gramella forsetii’ KT0803, a bacteroidetal isolate ...

Small RNAs Repress Expression of Polysaccharide Utilization Loci of Gut Bacteroides Species [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2016 ABSTRACT Bacteroides species can metabolize numerous plant polysaccharides and host glycans present in the mammalian gut. The regulatory systems governing the induction of particular polysaccharide utilization loci when the cognate glycan is present are known, but how expression is repressed when a higher-priority ...

Research advances in polysaccharide utilization loci of rumen microorganism
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2020 Polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) are gene clusters that orchestrate the breakdown of a specific glycan, encode cell surface polysaccharide binding proteins, outer membrane transport proteins, carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and transcription ...

Polysaccharide utilization loci-driven enzyme discovery reveals BD-FAE: a bifunctional feruloyl and acetyl xylan esterase active on complex natural xylans. [PDF]
Biotechnol Biofuels, 2021 AbstractBackgroundNowadays there is a strong trend towards a circular economy using lignocellulosic biowaste for the production of biofuels and other bio-based products. The use of enzymes at several stages of the production process (e.g., saccharification) can offer a sustainable route due to avoidance of harsh chemicals and high temperatures.
