Enhancing Probiotic Performance in Food Matrices: From Strain Selection to Bioengineering

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Probiotics are central to functional food innovation, but their application is limited by viability loss during processing, storage, and gastrointestinal (GI) transit. A key insight is that viability and functionality are distinct attributes; maintaining high cell counts does not guarantee that probiotics retain their beneficial properties ...

Stimbiotic supplementation and xylose-rich carbohydrates modulate broiler’s capacity to ferment fibre

Frontiers in Microbiology
Stimbiotics are a new category of feed additives that can increase fibre fermentability by stimulating fibre-degrading microbiota in the gut. The aim of this study was to test, ex vivo, if the microbiota of broilers fed a stimbiotic are better able to ...

Advances in Xylooligosaccharides Production From Lignocellulosic Materials and Its Application as Prebiotics

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT With the growing interest in functional foods and their role in promoting health beyond basic nutrition, increasing attention has been directed toward the modulation of gut microbiota as a key determinant of human well‐being. In this context, prebiotics and probiotics have emerged as central bioactive ingredients due to their capacity to ...

Improvement in the productivity of xylooligosaccharides from waste medium after mushroom cultivation by hydrothermal treatment with suitable pretreatment [PDF]

, 2010
The effective xylooligosaccharides (XOs) production from the waste medium after mushroom cultivation (WM) was investigated. The WM contains rich nutrients (protein, etc.) which induce Maillard reaction with reducing sugars under hydrothermal conditions ...

Apiotrichum‐Centered Fungal Interaction Network Disturbance Correlates With Increased Arterial Stiffness

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 8, August 2026.
Apiotrichum‐centered gut fungal network disturbance correlates with increased arterial stiffness. Five driver genera including Apiotrichum, Mycothermus, Flavocillium, Hyaloscypha, and Microscypha regulate the interaction shift. Thirty‐nine metabolites comprising organic acids, fatty acyls, and sucrose target vasoconstriction regulators CYP11B2, ROCK2 ...

Glucose Modulates Marine Xylanase Activity: Insights From Caulerpa lentillifera and Synthetic β‐1,3‐glucoxylans

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
Two recombinant xylanases from marine bacteria, β‐1,3‐xylanase Xyl4 and mixed‐linkage xylanase AlXyn26A, were used to digest glucoxylan structures extracted from the green alga Caulerpa lentillifera and synthesized by automated glycan assembly. High‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS) analysis of the reaction ...

Characterization of a new bifunctional endo-1,4-β-xylanase/esterase found in the rumen metagenome

Scientific Reports, 2021
Metagenomic data mining of the Nellore cattle rumen microbiota identified a new bifunctional enzyme, endo-1,4-β-xylanase/esterase, which was subsequently overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3).

Tuning Xylan Polymerisation Enhanced Fibre Digestibility Without Biomass Loss in Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis)

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4484-4486, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass), a dominant perennial grass of the Eurasian Steppe, is a crucial source of carbohydrates and energy for ruminants. However, the lignocellulose recalcitrance severely limits its digestibility. Here, we targeted xylan, a major hemicellulose interacting with cellulose and lignin in cell wall. To improve digestibility,

Novel GH115 xylan α‐1,2‐glucuronidases with distinct preferences for xylan‐derived oligomers and polymers

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...
