Effects of priming glycosyltransferase genes cps 2E and cps 4E on the exopolysaccharide biosynthesis by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YM-4-3 strain.

Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) have various physiological functions such as antioxidant, anti-tumor, cholesterol lowering, and immune regulation. However, improving traditional fermentation conditions to increase the production of EPS from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) is limited.

Highly Efficient Biotransformation of Phenolic Glycosides Using a Recombinant βGlucosidase From White Rot Fungus .

Phenolic glycosides are the important bioactive molecules, and their bioavailability can be influenced by enzyme hydrolysis, such as β-glucosidases (EC3.2.1.

UDP-glucosyltransferase71c5, a major glucosyltransferase, mediates abscisic acid homeostasis in Arabidopsis.

Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a key role in plant growth and development. The effect of ABA in plants mainly depends on its concentration, which is determined by a balance between biosynthesis and catabolism of ABA. In this study, we characterize a unique UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT), UGT71C5, which plays an important role in ABA homeostasis by glucosylating ABA to abscisic acid -: glucose ester (GE) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).
