Food Chem
. 2023 Jan;
410:135379.
PMID: 36621331
Burning of food materials during cooking can increase the difficulty in removal from solid surfaces, forming residual food soils. Using molecular probe-based technologies, the aim of this work was to...

Cell Host Microbe
. 2017 Dec;
22(6):733-745.e5.
PMID: 29241040
Interactions between the host and its microbiota are of mutual benefit and promote health. Complex molecular pathways underlie this dialog, but the identity of microbe-derived molecules that mediate the mutualistic...

Temple M, Cuskin F, Basle A, Hickey N, Speciale G, Williams S, et al.
J Biol Chem
. 2017 May;
292(25):10639-10650.
PMID: 28461332
Glycans are major nutrients available to the human gut microbiota. The are generalist glycan degraders, and this function is mediated largely by polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). The genomes of several...

ACS Cent Sci
. 2017 Jan;
2(12):896-903.
PMID: 28058278
The enzymatic cleavage of β-1,4-mannans is achieved by -β-1,4-mannanases, enzymes involved in germination of seeds and microbial hemicellulose degradation, and which have increasing industrial and consumer product applications. β-Mannanases occur...

Sci Rep
. 2016 Dec;
6:38292.
PMID: 27924829
During the course of evolution, the cellulosome, one of Nature's most intricate multi-enzyme complexes, has been continuously fine-tuned to efficiently deconstruct recalcitrant carbohydrates. To facilitate the uptake of released sugars,...

. 2015 Oct;
6(5):334-9.
PMID: 26440374
The complex carbohydrates accessible to the distal gut microbiota (DGM) are key drivers in determining the structure of this ecosystem. Typically, plant cell wall polysaccharides and recalcitrant starch (i.e. dietary...
