This study identifies adhesin proteins in Nanosynbacteria that recognize specific host cell wall polysaccharides for recognition and attachment.

The paper identifies functional and structural differences among three GH172 arabinofuranosidases from Dysgonomonas gadei using synthetic substrates, covalent inhibitors, and structural analysis.

The paper identifies a type VII-secreted toxin in mycobacteria that enables inter-bacterial competition by targeting arabinogalactan.

This study identifies a novel carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) family in a human gut microbiota beta-mannanase, revealing its unusual molecular architecture and functional specificity for beta-mannan.
