β-xylosidase activity and expression of a β-xylosidase gene during strawberry fruit ripening
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 2004 Strawberry fruit shows a marked softening during ripening and the process is associated with an increment of pectin solubility and a reduction of the molecular mass of hemicelluloses. In this work, we report the activity of beta-xylosidase and the expression of a beta-xylosidase gene in strawberry fruit.

Xylan degrading enzymes from fungal sources [PDF]
, 2015 Fungi have the ability to degrade xylan as the major component of plant cell wall hemicellulose. Fungi have evolved batteries of xylanolytic enzymes that concertedly act to depolymerise xylan backbones decorated with variable carbohydrate branches. As an

A novel xylan degrading β-D-xylosidase: purification and biochemical characterization [PDF]
, 2012 Aspergillus ochraceus, a thermotolerant fungus isolated in Brazil from decomposing materials, produced an extracellular b-xylosidase that was purified using DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-100 and Biogel P-60 gel filtration.

Characterisation of novel biomass degradation enzymes from the genome of Cellulomonas fimi [PDF]
, 2018 Recent analyses of genome sequences belonging to cellulolytic bacteria have revealed many genes potentially coding for cellulosic biomass degradation enzymes. Annotation of these genes however, is based on few biochemically characterised examples.

Xylanase and Xylosidase Activities in Avocado Fruit
Plant Physiology, 1991 The activities of xylanase and xylosidase were demonstrated in mature avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits from different cultivars. When monitored on the day of harvest during the season at 1-month intervals, xylanase activity decreased and xylosidase activity increased between January and February and then remained stable until May. When monitored
