This paper introduces a mild extraction method for Gram-positive bacterial cell wall glycopolymers that preserves structural integrity and yields 17 distinct glycopolymers from 11 species.

This paper uses β-galactosidase to convert raffinose oligosaccharides into β-GOS, which are less fermentable by some gut microbes but still usable by beneficial bacteria.

This paper identifies two carbohydrate esterases from Bacteroides cellulosilyticus that work together to deacetylate complex β-mannans, with one showing specificity for 2-O-acetyl groups and the other acting broadly on diverse substrates.

This study identifies high molecular weight polysaccharide contaminants in yeast extract that affect exopolysaccharide (EPS) purity and structural analysis, showing their removal via ultrafiltration.

The paper identifies microbial communities capable of degrading medium- and long-chain alkanes and their oxidized derivatives in polyethylene, revealing the presence of these compounds in the model PE material.
