Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic recurrent intestinal inflammatory disease characterized by
high incidence and young onset age. Recently, there have been some interesting findings in …

Lignocellulosic biomass has enormous potential to contribute to worldwide energy,
chemical, and material demands in a renewable, sustainable manner. In the United States …

Mucin-degrading microbes are known to harbor glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) which cleave
specific glycan linkages. Although several microbial species have been identified as mucin …

Unlike proteins, glycan chains are not directly encoded by DNA, but by the specificity of the
enzymes that assemble them. Theoretical calculations have proposed an astronomical …

Abstract The Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes database (CAZy; http://www. cazy. org) provides
online and continuously updated access to a sequence-based family classification linking …

Commensal microbes and the host immune system have been co‐evolved for mutual
regulation. Microbes regulate the host immune system, in part, by producing metabolites. A …

Descriptions of the microbial communities that live on and in the human body have
progressed at a spectacular rate over the past 5 years, fuelled primarily by highly parallel …

Biomass constitutes an appealing alternative to fossil resources for the production of
materials and energy. The abundance and attractiveness of vegetal biomass come along …

Background Since its inception, the carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZy;
http://www. cazy. org) has described the families of enzymes that cleave or build complex …

The bulk terrestrial biomass resource in a future bio-economy will be lignocellulosic
biomass, which is recalcitrant and challenging to process. Enzymatic conversion of …
