A novel acetyl xylan esterase enabling complete deacetylation of substituted xylans [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018 Background Acetylated 4-O-(methyl)glucuronoxylan (GX) is the main hemicellulose in deciduous hardwood, and comprises a β-(1→4)-linked xylopyranosyl (Xylp) backbone substituted by both acetyl groups and α-(1→2)-linked 4-O-methylglucopyranosyluronic acid ...

Conversion of xylan by recyclable spores of Bacillus subtilis displaying thermophilic enzymes [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2017 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.

Producing mixed linked xylooligosaccharides from red algae biomass through single-step enzymatic hydrolysis [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsBackground 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.

Marine Bacteroidetes enzymatically digest xylans from terrestrial plants.
Environmental Microbiology, 2023 Marine Bacteroidetes that degrade polysaccharides contribute to carbon cycling in the ocean. Organic matter, including glycans from terrestrial plants, might enter the oceans through rivers.
