This study identifies PNGaseL from Flavobacterium akiainvivens as an enzyme with broad N-glycan specificity, outperforming PNGaseF and PNGaseA in cleaving diverse glycan structures.

This paper characterizes a PNGaseA enzyme from Bifidobacterium bifidum that preferentially strips N-glycans from peptides over proteins, revealing its structural basis for substrate specificity.

The paper identifies two rumen community types linked to protozoal populations and shows their impact on microbial interactions and metabolite profiles.

The paper shows that Escherichia coli and Bifidobacterium bifidum have a mutualistic interaction in degrading human milk oligosaccharides in healthy infants.

This study characterizes carbohydrate-active enzymes from Akkermansia muciniphila to show they synergistically degrade mucin O-glycans to the core GalNAc.
