Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Exploring the microbial diversity and characterization of cellulase and hemicellulase genes in goat rumen: a metagenomic approach

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2023
Background Goat rumen microbial communities are perceived as one of the most potential biochemical reservoirs of multi-functional enzymes, which are applicable to enhance wide array of bioprocesses such as the hydrolysis of cellulose and hemi-cellulose ...

Unexpected Suppression of Tomato Fruit Cuticle Formation by Overexpression of a Key Cutin Biosynthetic Enzyme

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit cuticles regulate the diffusion of water, gases and solutes, functioning as essential protective interfaces against environmental and biotic stresses. Engineering cuticle structure and mechanics therefore represents a promising strategy for improving fruit quality and resilience.

Sugars as Central Integrators of Plant Immunity and Stress Responses

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugars are fundamental metabolites that sustain plant growth and development, but accumulating evidence demonstrates that they also function as regulatory hubs in plant defence. In this review, we synthesise current knowledge on how carbohydrate dynamics coordinate metabolism, signalling, and structural responses to shape plant resistance ...

High level expression of a novel family 3 neutral β-xylosidase from Humicola insolens Y1 with high tolerance to D-xylose.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
A novel β-xylosidase gene of glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family 3, xyl3A, was identified from the thermophilic fungus Humicola insolens Y1, which is an innocuous and non-toxic fungus that produces a wide variety of GHs.

Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 324-339, October 2026.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Xylanase and β-xylosidase from Penicillium janczewskii: Purification, characterization and hydrolysis of substrates

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2016
Background: Xylanases and β-d-xylosidases are the most important enzymes responsible for the degradation of xylan, the second main constituent of plant cell walls.

Cropping system and nitrogen fertilization modulate soil enzyme kinetics

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract The decomposition of soil organic matter and nutrient cycling are largely mediated by extracellular enzymes, yet the effect of soil management on enzyme kinetic (Michaelis constant [Km] and maximum velocity [Vmax]) remains poorly understood.

Temporal Expression Dynamics of Plant Biomass-Degrading Enzymes by a Synthetic Bacterial Consortium Growing on Sugarcane Bagasse

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Plant biomass (PB) is an important source of sugars useful for biofuel production, whose degradation efficiency depends on synergistic and dynamic interactions of different enzymes.

Unlock the Potential of Pichia in Coffee: Knowledge Transfer From Fermented Beverages

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Considerable research has focused on non‐Saccharomyces yeasts to explore their biochemical potential and genetic diversity beyond the capabilities of the conventional starter culture, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Among these, species of the genus Pichia have emerged as promising candidates in diverse food fermentation systems. Although studies on
