The ascomycete Trichoderma reesei is a paradigm for the regulation and production of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, including xylanases. Four xylanases, including XYN1 and XYN2 of glycosyl hydrolase family 11 (GH11), the GH10 XYN3, and the GH30 XYN4, were already

Biofilms are multicellular communities of bacteria attached to a surface and embedded in a protective matrix. In many cases, the signals that induce biofilm formation are unknown. Here, we report that biofilm formation by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri can

Dielectric relaxation measurements were performed on two enantiomers, D- and L-arabinose and their equimolar mixture, and compared to dielectric data obtained for D-ribose. D-Arabinose differs from d-ribose by having the opposite configuration at C2. This study reveals that both D-

A novel constituent of bacterial polysaccharides, 2,3,4-triacetamido-2,3,4-trideoxy-L-arabinose, was found in the O-specific polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide of Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5(T) and identified by 1D and 2D (1)H and (13)C NMR studies of the polysaccharide and a disaccharide obtained by solvolysis

Mycobacteria and corynebacteria use decaprenylphosphoryl-β-D-arabinofuranose (DPA) as a critical cell wall building block. Arabinofuranosyltransferases that process this substrate to mediate cell wall assembly have served as drug targets, but little is known about the substrate specificity of any of these
