Xylose: absorption, fermentation, and post-absorptive metabolism in the pig

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018
Xylose, as β-1,4-linked xylan, makes up much of the hemicellulose in cell walls of cereal carbohydrates fed to pigs. As inclusion of fibrous ingredients in swine diets continues to increase, supplementation of carbohydrases, such as xylanase, is of ...

Sequential Action of Different Fiber-Degrading Enzymes Enhances the Degradation of Corn Stover

Agriculture, 2022
Corn stover is one of the most agricultural residue abundances over the world; however, it is extremely prevented from microbial and enzymatic degradation into monomers because of the complex chemical and physical structure.

Poria cocos as a Functional Food for Diabetes and Diabetes‐Related Foot Ulcers

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Poria cocos is known as an edible mushroom for food and medicine. Poria cocos and its terpenes and terpenoids serve as novel remedies to treat diabetes and its ulcers. Its mode of actions includes reduction of insulin resistance, starch digestion and inflammation as well as promotion of blood vessel formation. ABSTRACT Poria cocos is a medicinal fungus

Klebsiella pneumoniae under xylose pressure: the growth adaptation, antimicrobial susceptibility, global proteomics analysis and role of XylA and XylB proteins

BMC Microbiology
Klebsiella pneumoniae can be cultured in medium with xylose as the sole carbon source. However, the effect of xylose exposure on its growth adaptation, virulence, antimicrobial susceptibility, and proteomic response remain unclear. Here, we show that low

An evolved xylose transporter from Zymomonas mobilis enhances sugar transport in Escherichia coli

Microbial Cell Factories, 2009
Background Xylose is a second most abundant sugar component of lignocellulose besides glucose. Efficient fermentation of xylose is important for the economics of biomass-based biorefineries.

Strategies for Efficient Expression of Heterologous Monosaccharide Transporters in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Journal of Fungi, 2022
In previous work, we developed a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain (DLG-K1) lacking the main monosaccharide transporters (hxt-null) and displaying high xylose reductase, xylitol dehydrogenase and xylulokinase activities.

Effects of Lycium barbarum Residue Substituting Dietary Maize on Fecal Microbiota and Growth Performance of Crossbred Simmental Cattle

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased

Recombinant Diploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strain Development for Rapid Glucose and Xylose Co-Fermentation

Fermentation, 2018
Cost-effective production of cellulosic ethanol requires robust microorganisms for rapid co-fermentation of glucose and xylose. This study aims to develop a recombinant diploid xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for efficient conversion of

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C50 Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Xylitol production from xylose mother liquor: a novel strategy that combines the use of recombinant Bacillus subtilis and Candida maltosa

Microbial Cell Factories, 2011
Background Xylose mother liquor has high concentrations of xylose (35%-40%) as well as other sugars such as L-arabinose (10%-15%), galactose (8%-10%), glucose (8%-10%), and other minor sugars.
