Abstract: Xylobiose is a prebiotic sugar that has applications in functional foods. This report describes the first X‐ray crystallographic structure models of apo and xylobiose‐bound forms of a xylobiohydrolase (XBH) from Acetivibrio clariflavus. This xylan‐active enzyme,… read more here.

Abstract: An ecosystem function is suggested to be more sensitive to biodiversity loss (i.e. low functional redundancy) when focusing on specific-type functions than broad-type functions. Thus far, specific-type functions have been loosely defined as functions performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02296-21
Abstract: Sponges host abundant microbial symbionts that can produce an impressive number of novel bioactive metabolites. However, knowledge on intracellular (endosymbiotic) microbiota is scarce. ABSTRACT Sponge microbiomes are typically profiled by analyzing the community DNA of… read more here.
