Article Abstract
To date, the enzymatically-catalysed synthesis of pentose-containing compounds has been limited to the production of oligo-beta-(1-->3) and oligo-beta-(1-->4)-linked xylopyranosides. To our knowledge, no such syntheses have involved arabinofuranose or, indeed, any other sugars in the furanose configuration. In this report, we describe the use of a thermostable alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase for the synthesis of p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside, p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-xylopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-D-xylopyranoside and benzyl alpha-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-alpha-L-arabinofuranoside. Importantly, this latter compound is synthesised in a highly regiospecific reaction, which leads to the production of a single disaccharide.

Meju is essential for making diverse traditional fermented soybean foods in Korea. To understand the changes in carbohydrates during fermentation, we aimed to identify autochthonous microorganisms from spontaneously fermented meju and compare the alterations in monosaccharides and oligosaccharides throughout the fermentation process. Microbial diversity was determined using a metabarcoding approach, and monosaccharide and oligosaccharide profiles were obtained by HPLC-Q-TOF MS and HPLC-MS/MS analyses, respectively.

Apiose is a natural pentose containing an unusual branched-chain structure. Apiosides are bioactive natural products widely present in the plant kingdom. However, little is known on the key apiosylation reaction in the biosynthetic pathways of apiosides.

Cell-suspension cultures (Zea mays L., Black Mexican sweet corn) habituated to 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (DCB) survive with reduced cellulose owing to hemicellulose network modification. We aimed to define the hemicellulose metabolism modifications in DCB-habituated maize cells showing a mild reduction in cellulose at different stages in the culture cycle.

The sub-cellular feruloylation and oxidative coupling sites of cell wall polysaccharides were investigated in planta by monitoring the kinetics of appearance of arabinosyl- and feruloyl-radiolabelled polysaccharides in the protoplasmic compartment and their secretion in the wall either in the presence or absence of brefeldin A (BFA). By using root apical segments excised from wheat seedlings (Triticum durum Desf.), incubated with trans-[U-(14)C]cinnamic acid, we demonstrated that [14C]ferulate, likely [14C]diferulate, as well as trimers and larger products of ferulate are incorporated into the protoplasmic polysaccharides very rapidly within 1-3 min of [14C]cinnamate feeding.
