The structure of a family 168 glycoside hydrolase from the marine bacterium Muricauda eckloniae
The structure of a putative fucoidan‐degrading glycoside hydrolase assigned to glycoside hydrolase family 168 reveals a (β/α)8 fold. The catalytic machinery and potential substrate specificity were investigated through a structural comparison with a Fun168A oligosaccharide complex.The genome of the marine bacterium Muricauda eckloniae sp.

Extraction of sulfated polysaccharides by autohydrolysis of brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus [PDF]
The extraction of sulfated polysaccharides (fucoidan) by autohydrolysis (AH) of brown seaweed Fucus vesiculosus was studied. Experimental assays were performed under different conditions of temperature (160 to 200°C) and reaction time (10 to 30 min ...

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-flagellated, non-gliding and yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated as strain CZ1127T, capable of utilizing sulfated fucan, was isolated from shallow coastal seawater of Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao, PR China. Its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. CZ1127T grew at 15-

Bioactive Compounds in Seafood: Implications for Health and Nutrition
Seafood is vital in promoting cardiovascular health, regulating blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of specific cancers, combating obesity, enhancing brain health, and supporting maternal care during pregnancy and lactation. Given the rising interest in functional foods and nutraceuticals, I believe this review will be particularly interesting to ...

Isolation and Culture of a Marine Bacterium Degrading the Sulfated Fucans from Marine Brown Algae [PDF]
Fucoidans are matrix polysaccharides from marine brown algae, consisting of an alpha-L-fucose backbone substituted by sulfate-ester groups and masked with ramifications containing other monosaccharide residues. In spite of their interest as biologically active compounds in a number of homologous and heterologous systems, no convenient sources with ...

Natural Products as Source of Potential Dengue Antivirals [PDF]
Dengue is a neglected disease responsible for 22,000 deaths each year in areas where it is endemic. To date, there is no clinically approved dengue vaccine or antiviral for human beings, even though there have been great efforts to accomplish these goals.

Mild acid hydrolysis of sulfated fucans: a selective 2-desulfation reaction and an alternative approach for preparing tailored sulfated oligosaccharides [PDF]
Sulfated fucans from marine invertebrates have simple, linear structures, composed of repeating units of oligosaccharides. Most of these polysaccharides contain 3-linked fucosyl units, but each species of invertebrate has a specific pattern of sulfation.
