Previously, arabinoxylan (AX) depolymerization by dietary endo-xylanase was observed in the broiler ileum, but released arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) were not characterized in detail. This study aimed at extracting and identifying AXOS released in vivo in broilers, in order to delineate the influence of endo-xylanase on AX utilization. Hereto, digesta from the gizzard, ileum, ceca and excreta of broilers fed a wheat-soybean diet without (Con) or with endo-xylanase supplementation (Enz) were assessed. Soluble AX content in the ileum was higher for Enz diet (26.9%) than for Con diet (18.8%), indicating a different type and amount of AX entering the ceca. Removal of maltodextrins and fructans enabled monitoring of AX depolymerization to AXOS (Enz diet) using HPSEC-RI and HPAEC-PAD. A recently developed HILIC-MS methodology allowed AXOS (DP 4-10) identification in ileal digesta and excreta. Xylanase-induced AXOS formation coincided with decreased total tract AX recovery, which indicated improved AX hindgut utilization.

A 42-day study was conducted with 720-day-old Cobb male broiler chicks allocated to treatments in a 3 × 2 factorial, with the factors as wheat bran (WB) inclusion (no WB, 50 g/kg coarse WB, or 50 g/kg fine WB) and stimbiotic (STB) supplementation in corn-based diets. The inclusion of WB ( < 0.05) or STB supplementation ( < 0.

The present study deals with the production of cellulase-free endoxylanase by Aspergillus niger ISL-9 using wheat bran as a solid substrate. Endoxylanase was produced under a solid-state fermentation. Various growth parameters were optimized for the improved production of the enzyme.

Endo-xylanase and endo-glucanase are supplemented to poultry diets in order to improve nutrient digestion and non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) fermentation. Here, the action of these enzymes on alcohol insoluble solids (AIS) from wheat and maize grains as well as its implications for starch digestion in milled grains were evaluated in vitro, under conditions mimicking the poultry digestive tract. For wheat AIS, GH11 endo-xylanase depolymerized soluble arabinoxylan (AX) during the gizzard phase, and proceeded to release insoluble AX under small intestine conditions.

This experiment aimed to explore the zymogram of endo-xylanase (EX) and debranching enzymes (arabinofuranosidase [EA] and ferulic acid esterase [EF]) supplemented in the corn−soybean meal-based diet of broilers. An in vitro simulated gastrointestinal digestion model was adopted. According to single-factor, completely random design, the optimal supplemental levels of individual carbohydrase were determined by reducing sugars (RS) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD).

Valorization of the hemicellulose fraction of plant biomass is crucial for the sustainability of lignocellulosic biorefineries. The Cellulomonas genus comprises Gram-positive Actinobacteria that degrade cellulose and other polysaccharides by secreting a complex array of enzymes. In this work, we studied the specificity and synergy of two enzymes, CsXyn10A and CsAbf62A, which were identified as highly abundant in the extracellular proteome of Cellulomonas sp.
