... -glycans as carbons source. To degrade these host glycans the bacteria express multiple carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) such as glycoside hydrolases, sulfatases and esterases which are active on specific linkages. The studies of these enzymes in an in vivo context have started to reveal...

...Haiyang Wu; C. David Owen; Nathalie Juge Fucose is a monosaccharide commonly found in mammalian, insect, microbial and plant glycans. The removal of terminal α- l -fucosyl residues from oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates is catalysed by α- l -fucosidases. To date, glycoside hydrolases (GHs...

... Glycoside hydrolases hemicellulases polysaccharides To reduce our carbon footprint and develop a more sustainable economy, it is crucial and urgent to move toward a circular bioeconomy model meaning using biotechnological tools to process biological residues into products, which can be reused...
