Open AccessCarbohydrates and carbohydrate degradation gene abundance and transcription in Atlantic waters of the Arctic
Carbohydrates are chemically and structurally diverse, represent a substantial fraction of marine organic matter and are key substrates for heterotrophic microbes. Studies on carbohydrate utilisation by marine...

Open AccessDissolved storage glycans shaped the community composition of abundant bacterioplankton clades during a North Sea spring phytoplankton bloom
Blooms of marine microalgae play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling. Such blooms entail successive blooms of specialized clades of planktonic bacteria that collectively remineralize gigatons of algal biom...

Open AccessViral infection switches the balance between bacterial and eukaryotic recyclers of organic matter during coccolithophore blooms
Algal blooms are hotspots of marine primary production and play central roles in microbial ecology and global elemental cycling. Upon demise of the bloom, organic carbon is partly respired and partly transferr...

Open AccessDiatom fucan polysaccharide precipitates carbon during algal blooms
The formation of sinking particles in the ocean, which promote carbon sequestration into deeper water and sediments, involves algal polysaccharides acting as an adhesive, binding together molecules, cells and ...

Prediction of Pectin Yield and Quality by FTIR and Carbohydrate Microarray Analysis
Pectin production is complex, and final product quality assessment is generally accomplished at the end of the process using time-consuming off-line laboratory analysis. In this study, pectin was extracted fro...

Carbohydrate Microarray Technology Applied to High-Throughput Map** of Plant Cell Wall Glycans Using Comprehensive Microarray Polymer Profiling (CoMPP)
Cell walls are an important feature of plant cells and a major component of the plant glycome. They have both structural and physiological functions and are critical for plant growth and development. The diver...

Characterization of an extensin-modifying metalloprotease: N-terminal processing and substrate cleavage pattern of Pectobacterium carotovorum Prt1
Compared to other plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, proteases are less well understood. In this study, the extracellular metalloprotease Prt1 from Pectobacterium carotovorum (formerly Erwinia carotovora) was exp...

Carbohydrate Microarrays in Plant Science
Almost all plant cells are surrounded by glycan-rich cell walls, which form much of the plant body and collectively are the largest source of biomass on earth. Plants use polysaccharides for support, defense, ...
