Host-adapted enzymatic deconstruction of acetylated xylan enables mutualistic colonization of monocot roots

Mathias Brands, Vicente Ramírez, Laura Armbruster, Ruben Eichfeld, Asmamaw Bidru Endeshaw, Pia Saake, Markus Pauly, Alga Zuccaro

This paper identifies a host-adapted enzymatic module in Serendipita indica that degrades acetylated xylan in monocot roots, enabling fungal colonization while suppressing immune responses.
