木聚糖（Xylan）作为第二丰富的植物细胞壁多糖，不但是中药中的活性成分，也是常用的膳食纤维之一，对塑造肠道菌群组成具有重要作用。 肠道拟杆菌基因组上约20%的基因构成Polysaccharides utilization loci (PULs) 参与碳水化合物的代谢，虽然目前已鉴定出了大量的PULs，但是对PULs的功能研究尚待探讨。

本研究针对传统伤口敷料功能单一、成本高昂等问题，开发了由木聚糖(xylan)、壳聚糖(chitosan)和低共熔溶剂(DES)组成的多功能生物复合膜。通过溶剂浇铸法制备的Xyl_Chit_50:50_DES膜展现出优异的力学性能(拉伸强度8.2 MPa)、抗菌活性(对MRSA降低≥4-log CFU·mL-1)和促愈合能力(30小时伤口闭合率76%)，为经济高效 ...

Xylan is a major interlocking polysaccharide in the cell walls of seed plants, possessing a high structural diversity and cellular specificity in terms of chain polymerization, side chains, and ...

They found that XOAT6 co-fractionated with IRX10, a verified xylan synthase in rice. Further experiments, including luciferase complementation and co-immunoprecipitation assays, ...

After cellulose, xylan is the most abundant biomass material on Earth, and therefore represents an enormous potential source of stored solar energy for the production of advance biofuels. A major ...

Xylan, like cellulose, is a major component of plant cell walls that serves as a valuable source of human and animal nutrition. Despite its importance, ...

Molecules 10,000 times narrower than the width of a human hair could hold the key to making possible wooden skyscrapers and more energy-efficient paper production. The two most common large molecules ...

To synthesize the high-performance bio-based adhesive, the researchers sourced xylan from viscose fiber mills, which were then freeze-dried and oxidized in the sodium periodate (NaIO 4) solution ...
