The 1013–1014 microorganisms present in the human gut (collectively known as the human
gut microbiota) dedicate substantial percentages of their genomes to the degradation and …

Amino acids are fundamental building blocks supporting life. Their role in protein synthesis
is well defined, but they contribute to a host of other intracellular metabolic pathways …

The membrane-integrated synthase FKS is involved in the biosynthesis of β-1, 3-glucan, the

Upregulation of sialyltransferases—the enzymes responsible for the addition of sialic acid to
growing glycoconjugate chains—and the resultant hypersialylation of up to 40–60% of …

Chitin, the most abundant aminopolysaccharide in nature, is an extracellular polymer
consisting of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units. The key reactions of chitin biosynthesis …

Polysaccharides are dominant features of most bacterial surfaces and are displayed in
different formats. Many bacteria produce abundant long-chain capsular polysaccharides …

Carbohydrates are a fundamental unit playing pivotal roles in all the biological processes. It
is thus essential to develop methods for synthesizing, functionalizing, and manipulating …

This review aims to present current knowledge of the fungi involved in lignocellulose
degradation with an overview of the various classes of lignocellulose‐acting enzymes …

Hyaluronan is an acidic heteropolysaccharide comprising alternating N-acetylglucosamine
