Hetero‐trans‐β‐glucanase, an enzyme unique to Equisetum plants, functionalizes cellulose
Cell walls are metabolically active components of plant cells. They contain diverse enzymes, including transglycanases (endotransglycosylases), enzymes that 'cut and paste' certain structural polysaccharide molecules and thus potentially remodel the wall during growth and development. Known transglycanase activities modify several cell-wall polysaccharides (xyloglucan, mannans, mixed-linkage β-...
متن کاملThe Synthesis of Cellulose by Enzyme Systems from Higher Plants.
In 1957 Glaser (1) obtained a particulate fraction from Acetobatter xylinum which catalyzed the incorporation of the glucosyl moiety of uridine diphosphate n-glucose into cellulose. It seemed probable that this most important structural polysaccharide of higher plants was synthesized by a similar mechanism, but attempts to bring about its formation from uridine diphosphate u-glucose by enzyme s...

posts are held by men. It isn’t always easy for young women to have social confidence necessary to not only engage but stand out in their respective scientific communities and the competition for faculty positions is stiff. That being said, I think a lot has changed for the better in the last 20 years that I have been in science and the climate is still improving. A second challenge that women ...
متن کاملCellulose synthesis in higher plants.
Cellulose microfibrils play essential roles in the organization of plant cell walls, thereby allowing a growth habit based on turgor. The fibrils are made by 30 nm diameter plasma membrane complexes composed of approximately 36 subunits representing at least three types of related CESA proteins. The complexes assemble in the Golgi, where they are inactive, and move to the plasma membrane, where...
متن کاملAn introduction to freshwater aquarium plants
Freshwater aquarium plants are one of the most popular components in freshwater aquariums. The aquarium plant trade is a lucrative trade in its producer countries. In fact, the aquarium is a closed and controlled environment that coordination between all its components is necessary to maintain the balance and stability of this small ecosystem. They beautify the interior of the aquarium, moreove...
