Background: Cellobiose 2-epimerase (CE) has received great attention due to its potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, a novel CE from mesophilic anaerobic halophilic bacterium Iocasia fonsfrigidae strain SP3-1 (IfCE) was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized.
Results: Unlike other CEs, the purified IfCE shows only epimerization activity toward β-1,4-glycosidic linkages of disaccharides, including mannobiose, cellobiose and lactose, but not for monosaccharides, β-1,4-glycosidic linkages of trisaccharides and α-1,4-glycosidic linkages of disaccharides.
Herbivorax saccincola A7 is an anaerobic alkali-thermophilic lignocellulolytic bacterium that possesses a cellulosome and high xylan degradation ability. To understand the expression profile of extracellular enzymes by carbon sources, quantitative real-time PCR was performed on all cellulosomal and non-cellulosomal enzyme genes of H. saccincola A7 using cellulose and xylan as carbon sources.

This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of mannooligosaccharides extracted from coconut meal (CMOSs) on the proliferation and migration of human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells . The results showed that CMOSs exhibited significant inhibitory activity against HCT116 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner with less cytotoxic effects on the Vero normal cells.

We isolated and analysed a Gram-negative, facultatively thermophilic, xylan-degrading bacterium that we designated as strain DA-C8. The strain was isolated from compost from Ishigaki Island, Japan, by enrichment culturing using beech wood xylan as the sole carbon source. The strain showed high xylan degradation ability under anaerobic growth conditions.

This enzyme exhibited α-l-arabinofuranosidase, endoxylanase, and β-d-xylosidase activities. The α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity of PcAxy43B revealed a new property of GH43, via the release of both long-chain cereal arabinoxylan and short-chain arabinoxylooligosaccharide (AXOS), as well as release from both the C(O) and C(O) positions of AXOS, which is different from what has been seen for other arabinofuranosidases.
