β-Mannan degradation by gut bacteria - Characterization of β-mannanases from families GH5 and GH26

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan lever inte bara själv, utan tillsammans med en mängd bakterier som lever i kroppen. Större delen av dessa lever i tjocktarmen. Dessa organismer är viktiga för vår hälsa. De stimulerar immunförsvaret, sänker pH i tarmen och gör det ogynnsamt för sjukdomsframkallande bakterier att växa till. Bakterierna lever i symbios med oss och med varandra. Förändringar i taThe human gut flora is important for our well-being. The gut bacteria are able to degrade and metabolize complex carbohydrates. Examples of such carbohydrates are β-mannans. β-Mannans consist of a backbone of β-1,4-linked mannose units and are present in e.g. the endosperm of legumes such as guar or carob. The composition of the β-mannan varies with the plant source. Carob and guar β-mannans are s

Development, validation and characterization of an analytical method for the quantification of hydrolysable urinary metabolites and plasma protein adducts of 2,4-and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate and 4,4 '-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate

Baker's Yeast for Sweet Dough Enables Large-Scale Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,6-dione

Measurements of Large-Scale Parameters of a Distributed MIMO Antenna System in a Microcell Environment at 2.6 GHz

Eotaxin-3 (CCL26) exerts innate host defense activities that are modulated by mast cell proteases

BackgroundDuring bacterial infections of the airways, a Th1-profiled inflammation promotes the production of several host defense proteins and peptides with antibacterial activities including -defensins, ELR-negative CXC chemokines, and the cathelicidin LL-37. These are downregulated by Th2 cytokines of the allergic response. Instead, the eosinophil-recruiting chemokines eotaxin-1/CCL11, eotaxin-2

Effects of Pediococcus parvulus 2.6 and its exopolysaccharide on plasma cholesterol levels and inflammatory markers in mice

Increased levels of α2-3- and α2-6-linked sialic acids during airway inflammation govern influenza A binding to peripheral airway mucins in a subtype-dependent manner

Background: Influenza infection increases the risk of pneumonia and respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and mucins play an important role in pulmonary host defense. Methods: Lower airway mucins were obtained from long-term smokers with and without COPD, pneumonia patients, and healthy never-smokers; oral MUC5B was obtained from a healthy never-smoker, and the abilit

Birth outcomes between 22 and 26 weeks' gestation in national population-based cohorts from Sweden, England and France

β -delayed proton emission from P 26 and S 27

A Fully Integrated 26dBm Linearized RF Power Amplifier in 65nm CMOS Technology

In this paper, design and measurements of a fully integrated power amplifier (PA) are presented. The PA consists of two amplifying chains each having a driver and a power stage. A low loss on chip power combiner combines the outputs from two amplifying chains, and also performs impedance transformation and differential to single-ended conversion. To linearize the PA, the driver stage is biased in
