The distribution of noncellulosic polysaccharides in cell walls of tracheids and xylem parenchyma cells in normal and compression wood of Pinus radiata, was examined to determine the relationships ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Changes in the uronide, neutral-polysaccharide, and cellulose composition of the cell wall of Nitella axillaris Braun were followed throughout ...

Plant cell walls are complex structures composed mostly of lignocellulose—the most abundant organic material on Earth—which is a matrix of cross-linked polysaccharide networks, glycosylated proteins, ...

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes that play a pivotal role in the oxidative degradation of crystalline polysaccharides, such as cellulose, in fungi. They operate ...

(a) Design and fabrication of the polysaccharide-based nanocomposite membranes; (b) Transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of bacterial cellulose nanofiber, showing nanoscale network structure; ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Iran presented an approach to optimize antimicrobial nanocomposite films by studying the effects of varying concentrations of ...

Researchers have observed enzymes breaking down cellulose to aid the production of biofuels. Biofuels obtained from biomass are becoming increasingly important. Apart from biomethane, however, they ...

“Do plant cell walls have a code?” That question, which is somewhat rhetorical, is the title of an article published in the November 1, 2015, issue of Plant Science by a pair of botanists at the ...
