A gene encoding an alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase, designated SaAraf43A, was cloned from Streptomyces avermitilis. The deduced amino acid sequence implies a modular structure consisting of an N-terminal glycoside hydrolase family 43 module and a C-terminal family 42 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM42). The recombinant

Xylans, the major portion of the hemicellulose of plant cell walls and grasses, are heteropolymers consisting principally of xylose and arabinose. Microbial xylanases with different multiplicities and properties are reported. Most studies on the mode of action of these xylanases

Acid hydrolyzed bacterial crystalline nanocellulose (BCNC) with different nanofiber morphologies, geometrical dimensions, crystalline structure and mechanical properties were obtained by adding different polysaccharides into the growing culture medium. Arabinogalactan had little effect on the characteristics of BCNC due to its

Xylooligosaccharides as emerging prebiotics are able to promote the growth of probiotic bacteria. In the present study, four neutral, thermostable xylanases (MtXyn11A, MtXyn11At, MtXyn11B, and MtXyn11C) from compost fungus Mycothermus thermophilus CGMCC3.18119 were overexpressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 and used

Gaining new knowledge through fungal monoculture responses to lignocellulose is a widely used approach that can lead to better cocktails for lignocellulose saccharification (the enzymatic release of sugars which are subsequently used to make biofuels). However, responses in lignocellulose mixed
