Tese de doutoramento em Ciências Veterinárias. Especialidade de Ciências Biológicas e Biomédicas<br>ABSTRACT - Plant cell wall polysaccharides offer an abundant energy source efficiently utilized by a large repertoire of micro-organisms, which thus play a central role in carbon re-cycling. Aerobic micro-organisms secrete Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) as free-standing proteins, whereas anaerobic bacteria organize a diverse enzyme consortium in a multi-component complex, the cellulosome, which performs a more efficient deconstruction of this composite structure. CAZymes are modular enzym

Abstract:
Tese de Doutoramento em Ciências Veterinárias na especialidade Produção Animal<br>The biodegradation of plant cell wall (PCW) carbohydrates is performed by microbial enzymes that are generally referred to as CAZymes. In animal nutrition, it is now well established that the monogastric animals produce a limited repertoire of CAZymes and as such cannot use efficiently some dietary ingredients that sometimes display antinutritional properties. The dietary supplementation with exogenous CAZymes improves the nutritive value of diets and increases animal’s performance. In particular, this study demo

Abstract:
The focus of this thesis is a comparative study of approaches in discovery of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). CAZymes synthesise, bind to, and degrade all the multitude of carbohydrates found in nature. As such, when aiming for sustainable methods to degrade plant biomass for the generation of biofuels, for which there is a strong drive in society, CAZymes are a natural source of environmentally friendly molecular tools. In nature, microorganisms are the principal degraders of carbohydrates. Not only do they degrade plant matter in forests and aquatic habitats, but also break down the m

To understand and modify the secondary cell walls of plants the project group Enzyme Discovery in Hybrid Aspen for Fiber Engineering (EDEN) was founded composed of nine laboratories with funding from the European Commission. The main target of EDEN´s research is to genetically engineer fiber structure in order to produce transgenic trees with modified properties for the pulp and paper industries. <br/>In this target framework, the Populus tremula x tremuloides xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (PttXET16A) was selected for in-depth study of its transglycosylase activity catalyzing cleavage and

Extremozymes are enzymes produced by microorganisms that live in extreme habitats. Due to their higher stability, extremozymes is attracting interest as biocatalysts in various industrial processes. In this context, carbohydrate-active extremozymes can be used in various processes relevant to the paper, food and feed industry. In this thesis, the crystal structure, biochemical characterization and the capacity to synthesize prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) were investigated for a β-glucosidase (HoBGLA) from the halothermophilic bacterium Halothermothrix orenii.

Tese de Doutoramento em Ciências Veterinárias, especialidade em Ciências Biológicas e Biomédicas<br>Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) include a range of enzymes that, in nature, make, break or modify glycosidic bonds. CAZymes act on highly recalcitrant polysaccharides, such as cellulose and hemicellulose, and often exhibit a modular architecture including catalytic domains fused through flexible linker regions to non-catalytic domains such as carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). In some anaerobic bacteria these enzymes can associate in high molecular mass multi-enzyme complexes termed

Abstract:
This thesis presents the application of different protein engineering methods on enzymes and non-catalytic proteins that act upon xyloglucans. Xyloglucans are polysaccharides found as storage polymers in seeds and tubers, and as cross-linking glucans in the cell wall of plants. Their structure is complex with intricate branching patterns, which contribute to the physical properties of the polysaccharide including its binding to and interaction with other glucans such as cellulose. One important group of xyloglucan-active enzymes is encoded by the GH16 XTH gene family in plants, including xylog

Abstract:
Wood and wood products are of great economical and environmental importance, both in Sweden and globally. Biotechnology can be used both for achieving raw material of improved quality and for industrial processes such as biobleaching. Despite the enormous amount of carbon that is fixed as wood, the knowledge about the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis, re-organization and degradation of plant cell walls is relatively limited. In order to exploit enzymes more efficiently or to develop new biotechnological processes, it is crucial to gain a better understanding of the function and mechanism o
