Yeasts, which have been a component of the human diet for at least 7,000 years, possess
an elaborate cell wall α-mannan. The influence of yeast mannan on the ecology of the …

The structure of the human gut microbiota is controlled primarily through the degradation of
complex dietary carbohydrates, but the extent to which carbohydrate breakdown products …

Glycans are the major carbon sources available to the human colonic microbiota. Numerous
N-glycosylated proteins are found in the human gut, from both dietary and host sources …

To investigate the mode of action of cellulose-binding domains (CBDs), the Type II CBD from
Pseudomonas fluorescens subsp. cellulosa xylanase A (XYLACBD) and cellulase E …

Endo-β-1, 4-xylanases (xylanases), which cleave β-1, 4 glycosidic bonds in the xylan
backbone, are important components of the repertoire of enzymes that catalyze plant cell …

A psychrophilic, aerobic bacterium designated A2iT was isolated from marine sediment
recovered from shallow waters surrounding Adelaide Island, Antarctica (67 degrees 34'S, 68 …

The enzymatic degradation of plant cell walls plays a central role in the carbon cycle and is
of increasing environmental and industrial significance. The enzymes that catalyze this …

Understanding the structural basis for protein thermostability is of considerable biological
