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

Carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) are independent non-catalytic domains widely found
in carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), and they play an essential role in the substrate …

Xylans are polysaccharides composed of xylose and include β1, 4-xylan, β1, 3-xylan, and
β1, 3/1, 4-mixed-linkage xylan (MLX). MLX is widely present in marine red algae and …

Gut microbiota members from the Bacteroidota phylum play a pivotal role in mammalian
health and metabolism. They thrive in this diverse ecosystem due to their notable ability to …

A novel glycoside hydrolase family 26 β-mannanase gene ppman26a was cloned from
Paenibacillus polymyxa KF-1. The full-length enzyme PpMan26A and its truncated products …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a highly acidic and heavy metal-bearing environment with
marginal availability of nutrients. Indeed, recycling the scarce organic matter in such …

Endo-β-mannanases are important enzymes for degrading lignocellulosic biomass to
generate mannan, which has significant health effects as a prebiotic that promotes the …

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are plant proteoglycans with functions in growth and
development. However, these functions are largely unexplored, mainly because of the …

Active sites of enzymes play a vital role in catalysis, and researchhas been focused on the
interactions between active sites and substrates to understand the biocatalytic process …

Background: Plant biomass is a promising feedstock to replace fossil-based products
including fuels, chemicals and materials. However, the high resistance of plant biomass to …
