Human gut microbiota played a key role in maintaining and regulating host health. Gut
microbiota composition could be altered by daily diet and related nutrients. Diet …

An integrated treatment coupling peracetic acid delignification, dimethyl sulfoxide extraction,
and ethanol precipitation were performed to isolate hemicellulose from de-starched corn …

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

Seagrasses evolved from monocotyledonous land plants that returned to the marine habitat.
This transition was accomplished by substantial changes in cell wall composition, revealing …

Type II arabinogalactan (AG) is a soluble prebiotic fiber stimulating the proliferation of
bifidobacteria in the human gut. Larch AG, which is comprised of type II AG, is known to be …

Gum arabic arabinogalactan (AG) protein (AGP) is a unique dietary fiber that is degraded
and assimilated by only specific strains of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum. Here, we …

Glucuronoxylans represent a significant fraction of woody biomass, and its decomposition is
complicated by the presence of lignin–carbohydrate complexes (LCCs). Herein, LCCs from …

Glucuronic acid (GlcAp) and/or methylglucuronic acid (MeGlcAp) decorate the major forms
of xylan in hardwood and coniferous softwoods as well as many cereal grains. Accordingly …

Arabinose and galactose are major, rapidly metabolized components of marine particulate
and dissolved organic matter. In this study, we observed for the first time large microbiomes …

The coordinated action of carbohydrate-active enzymes has mainly been evaluated for the
purpose of complete saccharification of plant biomass (lignocellulose) to sugars. By contrast …
