Redesigning N-glycosylation sites in a GH3 β-xylosidase improves the enzymatic efficiency

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background β-Xylosidases are glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that cleave xylooligosaccharides and/or xylobiose into shorter oligosaccharides and xylose.

Beech decline reshapes fine root traits, microbial composition and soil carbon–nutrient cycling

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study highlights the critical role of rhizosphere interactions in nutrient cycling and tree health. It was found that tree decline triggers cascading effects that influence fine root, microbial communities and soil enzyme activities in the rhizosphere.

Printed PHBV‐Based Sensors as a Real‐Time Proxy for Soil Microbial Decomposer Activity During Drought and Flood Recovery

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Novel sensors that can be made cheaply (1) are deployed in multiple pots (2). These have either nutrient‐poor soil with a biodiverse community or arable soil with wheat plants which are subjected to droughts and flood stresses (2). We show the sensors can track decomposition through time at high temporal resolution while and after the pots are stressed,

Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
With the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and

Mutation Analysis of the pKa Modulator Residue in β-D-xylosidase from Geobacillus Thermoleovorans IT-08: Activity Adaptation to Alkaline and High-Temperature Conditions

, 2016
β-D-xylosidases are hemicellulases that catalyze the release of xylose units from short xylooligosaccharides. Their activity is the rate-limiting step in xylan hydrolysis. A major application of these enzymes is as eco-friendly biobleaching agents in the

Diet‐Driven Divergence in Gut Microbiota Variation Between Two Sympatric Gerbil Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gut microbiota provide various benefits to their mammalian hosts; however, knowledge regarding interspecific differences in gut microecology remains limited. This study employed 16S rRNA sequencing combined with metagenomic functional prediction (potential functions or functional potential) to conduct a comparative analysis of the gut ...

Spray‐induced gene silencing as a novel strategy for managing dollar spot in creeping bentgrass caused by Clarireedia jacksonii

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3993-4006, April 2026.
In planta screening of 32 dsRNAs identified effective SIGS candidates, and mechanistic analyses in Clarireedia jacksonii confirmed that SIGS is feasible through dsRNA uptake, siRNA production, and target transcript knockdown. Abstract BACKGROUND Clarireedia jacksonii, the causal agent of dollar spot, is a major turfgrass pathogen for which sustainable ...
