In general, cellulases and hemicellulases are modular enzymes in which the catalytic domain is appended to one or more noncatalytic carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs). CBMs, by concentrating the parental enzyme at their target polysaccharide, increase the capacity of the catalytic module to bind
The aim of this study was to evaluate the assimilation of the prebiotics fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and Konjac glucomannan oligosaccharides (KGMO) by three human (H1, H2 and H3) and pig (P1, P2 and P3) faecal microbiotas in the presence of the potentially probiotic
A family 27 carbohydrate-binding module of a Thermotoga maritima β-mannanase (TmCBM27) was chosen from the carbohydrate-active enzyme database by computer-aided design, possessing the lowest binding free energy with mannopentaose. To improve the enzymatic properties of a glycoside hydrolase family 5
Carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRDs) promote weight loss, reductions in plasma triacylglycerol (TAG) levels, and increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels but may cause undesirable low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) responses in some people. The objective of the
The C-terminal 176 amino acids of a Thermotoga maritima mannanase (Man5) constitute a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) that has been classified into CBM family 27. The isolated CBM27 domain, named TmCBM27, binds tightly (K(a)s 10(5)-10(6) M(-1)) to beta-1, 4-mannooligosaccharides, carob
This study investigated the role of CBM35 from Clostridium thermocellum (CtCBM35) in polysaccharide recognition. CtCBM35 was cloned into pET28a (+) vector with an engineered His6 tag and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. A homogenous 15 kDa protein was purified by immobilized metal ion
In this paper we describe the enzymatic hydrolysis of konjac glucomannan for the production of glucomannooligosaccharides using purified Trichoderma reesei mannanase, endoglucanases EGI (Tr Cel7b) and EGII (Tr Cel5a). Hydrolysis with each of the three enzymes produced a different pattern of
A natural carbohydrate polymer, konjac glucomanan, has been extracted from commercial product and studied as a green corrosion inhibitor for AA5052 aluminium alloy in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier-transform
The application of capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) as a tool for the characterization of complex carbohydrate structures was investigated for konjac glucomannan (KGM) oligosaccharide mixtures and the monitoring of their structural changes during 72 h of
Two novel glycosyl hydrolase family 5 (GH5) β-mannanases (AoMan5A and AoMan5B) were identified from Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 by genome mining. The AoMan5A contains a predicted family 1 carbohydrate binding module (CBM-1), located at its N-terminal. The AoMan5A, AoMan5B and truncated mutant
Asian noodles typically have high glycemic index, and an unbalanced diet heavily laden with carbohydrates has been linked to weight gain and obesity. Shirataki noodles from Japan is made from konjac glucomannan (KGM) and water and is widely known for its multiple health benefits and ability to
It is uncertain whether the beneficial effects of the high-fibre, high-carbohydrate diets generally recommended for improved glucose control in diabetic patients are in fact due to the fibre. In this study the effect of the long-term ingestion of the dietary fibre, konjac - glucomannan (K-GM), on
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a viscous dietary fibre that can form a solid, low-energy gel when hydrated and is commonly consumed in a noodle form (KGM-gel). Increased meal viscosity from gel-forming fibres have been associated with prolonged satiety, but no studies to date have evaluated this effect
OBJECTIVE
Dietary fiber has recently received recognition for reducing the risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. The implication is that it may have therapeutic benefit in prediabetic metabolic conditions. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of supplementing a
A novel KG51 gene was isolated from a metagenomic library of Korean black goat rumen and its recombinant protein was characterized as a bifunctional enzyme (cellulase/hemicellulase). In silico sequence and domain analyses revealed that the KG51 gene encodes a novel carbohydrate-active enzyme that
