A xylose-stimulated xylanase-xylose binding protein chimera created by random nonhomologous recombination.

Biotechnology for biofuels

Ribeiro LF, Tullman J, Nicholes N, Silva SR, Vieira DS, Ostermeier M, Ward RJ.
PMID: 27274356
Biotechnol Biofuels. 2016 Jun 06;9:119. doi: 10.1186/s13068-016-0529-7. eCollection 2016.

BACKGROUND: Saccharification of lignocellulosic material by xylanases and other glycoside hydrolases is generally conducted at high concentrations of the final reaction products, which frequently inhibit the enzymes used in the saccharification process. Using a random nonhomologous recombination strategy, we...

The Fibrobacteres has been recognized as a bacterial phylum for over a decade, but little is known about the group beyond its environmental distribution, and characterization of its sole cultured representative genus, Fibrobacter, after which the phylum was named....

Enzymatic synthesis of glycosides: from natural .

Beilstein journal of organic chemistry

Ati J, Lafite P, Daniellou R.

Beilstein J Org Chem. 2017 Sep 05;13:1857-1865. doi: 10.3762/bjoc.13.180. eCollection 2017.

Carbohydrate related enzymes, like glycosyltransferases and glycoside hydrolases, are nowadays more easily accessible and are thought to represent powerful and greener alternatives to conventional chemical glycosylation procedures. The knowledge of their corresponding mechanisms has already allowed the development of...

Isolation of aerobic cultivable cellulolytic bacteria from different regions of the gastrointestinal tract of giant land snail Achatina fulica.

Frontiers in microbiology

Pinheiro GL, Correa RF, Cunha RS, Cardoso AM, Chaia C, Clementino MM, Garcia ES, de Souza W, Frasés S.

Role of two alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases in arabinoxylan degradation and characteristics of the encoding genes from shochu koji molds, Aspergillus kawachii and Aspergillus awamori.

Journal of bioscience and bioengineering

Koseki T, Okuda M, Sudoh S, Kizaki Y, Iwano K, Aramaki I, Matsuzawa H.
PMID: 16233515
J Biosci Bioeng. 2003;96(3):232-41. doi: 10.1016/s1389-1723(03)80187-1.

Two different alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases from Aspergillus kawachii were purified and characterized. The two enzymes acted synergically with xylanase in the degradation of arabinoxylan and resulted in an increase in the amount of ferulic acid release by feruloyl esterase. Both enzymes...
