Abstract α-Galactosidase,(EC 3.2. 1.22) is an exoglycosidase that target
galactooligosaccharides such as raffinose, melibiose, stachyose and branched …

Galactomannans, abundantly present in plant biomass, can be used as renewable
fermentation feedstock for biorefineries working for the production of bioethanol and other …

The human gut microbiota (HGM), a community of trillions of microbes, underscores its
contribution by impacting many facets of host health and disease. In the HGM, Bacteroidota …

Plant cell walls are composed of a heterogeneous mixture of polysaccharides that require
several different enzymes to degrade. These enzymes are important for a variety of …

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are complex plant proteoglycans that function as dietary
fiber utilized by human intestinal bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides species …

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) have diverse structures and exhibit various
biological activities. When using RFOs as prebiotics, their structures need to be identified. If …

Plant α-galactosides belonging to the raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) and
considered as prebiotics, are commonly degraded by α-galactosidases produced by the …

Abstract Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. thetaiotaomicron), which resides in the human
intestinal tract, has a number of carbohydrate enzymes, including glycoside hydrolase (GH) …

The intricate relationship between the human intestinal microbiota and polysaccharides has
a profound and direct impact on health outcomes. Our previous research has shown that …

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs), the enzymes that break glycosidic bonds, are ubiquitous in the
ecosystem, where they perform a range of biological functions. As an interesting glycosidase …
