Xylanases are hydrolytic enzymes which cleave the β-1, 4 backbone of the complex plant
cell wall polysaccharide xylan. Xylan is the major hemicellulosic constituent found in soft …

Despite an increased knowledge of microbial xylanolytic systems in the past few years,
further studies are required to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanism of xylan …

Plant cell walls are comprised largely of the polysaccharides cellulose, hemicellulose, and
pectin, along with∼ 10% protein and up to 40% lignin. These wall polymers interact …

Xylanases are important for the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulose-based biomass to
produce biofuels and other value-added products. We report functional and structural …

Xylan has a main chain consisting of β-1, 4-linked xylose residues with diverse substituents.
Endoxylanases cleave the xylan chain at cleavage sites determined by the substitution …

Abstract Endo-1, 4-β-xylanases (EC 3.2. 1.8) are O-glycoside hydrolases that cleave the
internal β-1, 4-D-xylosidic linkages of the complex plant polysaccharide xylan. They are …

Simple Summary Xylan is naturally present in typical feedstuffs fed to animals and has been
shown to cause increased digesta viscosity reducing nutrient digestibility and growth …

As important polysaccharide degraders in nature, fungi can diversify their extensive set of
carbohydrate-active enzymes to survive in ecological habitats of various composition …

The enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan, which is the second most abundant natural
polysaccharide, is one of the most important industrial applications of this polysaccharide [1 …

Cereal arabinoxylans (AXs) are complex polysaccharides in terms of their pattern of
arabinose and ferulic acid substitutions, which influence their properties in structural and …
