Conversion of xylan by recyclable spores of Bacillus subtilis displaying thermophilic enzymes [PDF]
Background The Bacillus subtilis spore has long been used to display antigens and enzymes. Spore display can be accomplished by a recombinant and a non-recombinant approach, with the latter proved more efficient than the recombinant one.

Embedding a feruloyl esterase active site into a thermophilic endoxylanase scaffold for the degradation of feruloylated xylans [PDF]
The structural complexity of xylan makes its complete degradation challenging. Strategies to improve its hydrolysis often requires enzyme cocktails with multiple specific activities or proteins harboring multiple catalytic domains.

Producing mixed linked xylooligosaccharides from red algae biomass through single-step enzymatic hydrolysis [PDF]
Background The red alga Palmaria palmata is a rich source of sugar compounds, particularly mixed-linkage xylans present in the cell walls of the algae. In contrast to their terrestrial lignocellulosic counterparts, these xylans are more easily accessible.
