A C4-oxidizing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase cleaving both cellulose and cello-oligosaccharides
Isaksen, Trine; Westereng, Bjørge; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Agger, Jane; Kracher, Daniel; Kittl, Roman; Ludwig, R.; Haltrich, Dietmar; Eijsink, Vincent; Horn, Svein Jarle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable resource that significantly can substitute fossil resources for the production of fuels, chemicals, and materials. Efficient saccharification of this biomass to fermentable sugars ... -
Analytical Tools for Characterizing Cellulose-Active Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenases (LPMOs)
Westereng, Bjørge; Loose, Jennifer Sarah Maria; Vaaje-Kolstad, Gustav; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Sørlie, Morten; Eijsink, Vincent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases are copper-dependent enzymes that perform oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds in cellulose and various other polysaccharides. LPMOs acting on cellulose use a reactive oxygen species ... -
Differential bacterial capture and transport preferences facilitate co-growth on dietary xylan in the human gut
Leth, Maria Louise; Ejby, Morten; Workman, Christopher; Ewald, David Adrian; Pedersen, Signe Schultz; Sternberg, Claus; Bahl, Martin Iain; Licht, Tine Rask; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Westereng, Bjørge; Hachem, Maher Abou (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Effects of post anaerobic digestion thermal hydrolysis on dewaterability and moisture distribution in digestates
Svennevik, Oda K; Solheim, Odd Egil; Beck, Greeley; Sørland, Geir; Jonassen, Kjell Rune; Rus, Ester; Westereng, Bjørge; Horn, Svein Jarle; Higgins, Matthew J; Nilsen, Pål Jahre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Organic waste fractions such as sewage sludge, food waste and manure can be stabilized by anaerobic digestion (AD) to produce renewable energy in the form of biogas. Following AD, the digested solid fraction (digestate) ... -
A pair of esterases from a commensal gut bacterium remove acetylations from all positions on complex β-mannans
Michalak, Leszek; Leanti La Rosa, Sabina; Leivers, Shaun Allan; Lindstad, Lars Jordhøy; Kjendseth, Åsmund Røhr; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Westereng, Bjørge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)β-mannans and xylans are important components of the plant cell wall and they are acetylated to be protected from degradation by glycoside hydrolases. β-mannans are widely present in human and animal diets as fiber from ... -
Simultaneous analysis of C1 and C4 oxidized oligosaccharides, the products of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases acting on cellulose
Westereng, Bjørge; Arntzen, Magnus Øverlie; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Varnai, Aniko; Eijsink, Vincent; Wittrup Agger, Jane (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases play a pivotal role in enzymatic deconstruction of plant cell wall material due to their ability to catalyze oxidative cleavage of glycosidic bonds. LPMOs may release different products, ... -
Synthesis of glycoconjugates utilizing the regioselectivity of a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase
Westereng, Bjørge; Kračun, SK; Leivers, Shaun Allan; Arntzen, Magnus Øverlie; Aachmann, Finn Lillelund; Eijsink, Vincent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Polysaccharides from plant biomass are the most abundant renewable chemicals on Earth and can potentially be converted to a wide variety of useful glycoconjugates. Potential applications of glycoconjugates include therapeutics ...
