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 ...

Xylans of Red and Green Algae: What Is Known about Their Structures and How They Are Synthesised?
Polymers, 2019 Xylans with a variety of structures have been characterised in green algae, including chlorophytes (Chlorophyta) and charophytes (in the Streptophyta), and red algae (Rhodophyta). Substituted 1,4-β-d-xylans, similar to those in land plants (embryophytes),

Embedding a feruloyl esterase active site into a thermophilic endoxylanase scaffold for the degradation of feruloylated xylans [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology JournalThe 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]
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.
