Biocatalysis has become an important aspect of modern organic synthesis, both in
academia and across the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Its success has been …

In recent years, the degradation processes of polysaccharides by human gut microbiota are
receiving considerable attention due to the discoveries of the powerful function of gut …

We investigated Bacteroidetes during spring algae blooms in the southern North Sea in
2010–2012 using a time series of 38 deeply sequenced metagenomes. Initial partitioning …

The largest living rodent, capybara, can efficiently depolymerize and utilize lignocellulosic
biomass through microbial symbiotic mechanisms yet elusive. Herein, we elucidate the …

Recently, Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide (DOP), a typical acetylated glucomannan,
has been widely applied in functional foods owing to its excellent bioactivity. However, the …

The production of biofuels as an efficient source of renewable energy has received
considerable attention due to increasing energy demands and regulatory incentives to …

Azido sugars have found frequent use as probes of biological systems in approaches
ranging from cell surface metabolic labeling to activity-based proteomic profiling of …

The human gut microbiota, which underpins nutrition and systemic health, is compositionally
sensitive to the availability of complex carbohydrates in the diet. The Bacteroidetes comprise …

α-Linked GalNAc (α-GalNAc) is most notably found at the nonreducing terminus of the blood
type–determining A-antigen and as the initial point of attachment to the peptide backbone in …

Bifidobacterium, an important genus for human health, is difficult to isolate. We applied
metagenomics, pangenomics, and enzymology to determine the dominant glycoside …
