Published: January 2018

Trichoderma reesei is used to produce saccharifying enzyme cocktails for biofuels. There is limited understanding of the transcription factors (TFs) that regulate genes involved in release and catabolism of l-arabinose and d-galactose, as the main TF XYR1 is only partially involved. Here, the T. reesei ortholog of ARA1 from Pyricularia oryzae that regulates l-arabinose releasing and catabolic genes was deleted and characterized by growth profiling and transcriptomics along with a xyr1 mutant and xyr1/ara1 double mutant. Our results show that in addition to the l-arabinose-related role, T. reesei ARA1 is essential for expression of d-galactose releasing and catabolic genes, while XYR1 is not involved in this process.

Acanthopanax seeds polysaccharide improve alcoholic fatty liver disease through the gut-liver axis.

Naturally derived polysaccharides regulate gut microbiota structure via the gut-liver axis to ameliorate Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). Acanthopanax seeds are abundant in polysaccharides; however, whether Acanthopanax seed polysaccharides (ASP) improve AFLD through the gut-liver axis remains unclear. In this study, ASP was extracted using ultrasonic-assisted extraction, followed by structural characterization and monosaccharide composition analysis.

In this study, Chinese yam polysaccharides (CYPs) were fermented using M616, and changes in the chemical composition, structure, and anti-inflammatory activity of CYPs before and after fermentation were investigated. The carbohydrate content of M616-fermented CYP (CYP-LP) increased from 71.03% ± 2.

In this study, an acid-assisted extraction strategy was used to extract a novel polysaccharide (ACP) from after which this polysaccharide was purified and subjected to extensive characterization. ACP was determined to have an average molecular weight of 15,580 Da in structural characterization studies, and it was found to primarily consist of glucose, galactose, L-fucose, and fructose at an 82.14:12.

A single vector system for tunable and homogeneous dual gene expression in Escherichia coli.

Expression of recombinant genes can be controlled using inducible promoters. However, the most commonly used IPTG- and arabinose-inducible promoters result in an 'all-or-nothing' response, leading to fully induced and uninduced bacterial subpopulations. Here, we investigate whether appropriate modifications to these promoter systems can be combined into a single vector system, enabling homogenous expression of two genes of interest that can be precisely tuned using inducer concentration.
