Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle’s microbiome plays a key role in the insect’s ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits. During a study of bacterial associates from I. typographus, we isolated three strains identified as Pseudomonas from different beetle life stages. In this work, we aimed to reveal the taxonomic status of these bacterial strains and to sequence and annotate their genomes to mine possible traits related to a role within the bark beetle holobiont. -

Agency Response Letter GRAS Notice No. GRN 000675
. Janet Oesterling Novozymes North America, Inc. 77 Perry Chapel Church Road Franklinton, NC 27525 Re: GRAS Notice No. GRN 000675 Dear Ms. Oesterling: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA, we) completed our evaluation of GRN 000675. We received the notice, dated October 10, 2016, that you submitted in accordance with the agency’s proposed regulation, proposed 21 CFR 170.36 (62 FR 18938; April 17, 1997; Substances Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS); the GRAS proposal) on July 17, 2016, and filed it on October 14, 2016. We received amendments containing clarifying information on February, 22, 2017 and March 09, 2017. FDA published the GRAS final rule on August 17, 2016 (81 FR 54960), with an effective date of October 17, 2016. As GRN 000675 was pending on the effective date of the GRAS final rule, we requested some additional information consistent with the format and requirements of the final rule. We received an amendment responding to this request on October 24, 2016. The subject of the notice is xylanase enzyme preparation produced by Trichoderma reesei carrying a xylanase gene from Talaromyces leycettanus (xylanase enzyme preparation). The notice informs us of the view of Novozymes North America, Inc. (Novozymes) that xylanase enzyme preparation is GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use as an enzyme at levels up to 48.33 mg Total Organic Solids (TOS) per kg raw material in brewing, cereal beverage processing, baking, and processing of cereal grains such as corn, wheat, barley, and oats. Commercial enzyme preparations that are used in food processing typically contain an enzyme component that catalyzes the chemical reaction as well as substances used as stabilizers, preservatives, or diluents. -

Structure, Function, and Regulation of Intestinal Lactase-Phlorizin Hydrolase and Sucrase- Isomaltase in Health and Disease
Gastrointestinal Functions, edited by Edgard E. Delvin and Michael J. Lentze. Nestle Nutrition Workshop Series, Pediatric Program, Vol. 46. Nestec Ltd.. Vevey/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Philadelphia © 2001. Structure, Function, and Regulation of Intestinal Lactase-Phlorizin Hydrolase and Sucrase- Isomaltase in Health and Disease Hassan Y. Nairn Department of Physiological Chemistry, School of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, Hannover, Germany Carbohydrates are essential constituents of the mammalian diet. They occur as oligosaccharides, such as starch and cellulose (plant origin), as glycogen (animal origin), and as free disaccharides such as sucrose (plant) and lactose (animal). These carbohydrates are hydrolyzed in the intestinal lumen by specific enzymes to mono- saccharides before transport across the brush border membrane of epithelial cells into the cell interior. The specificity of the enzymes is determined by the chemical structure of the carbohydrates. The monosaccharide components of most of the known carbohydrates are linked to each other in an a orientation. Examples of this type are starch, glycogen, sucrose, and maltose. (3-Glycosidic linkages are minor. Nevertheless, this type of covalent bond is present in one of the major and most essential carbohydrates in mammalian milk, lactose, which constitutes the primary diet source for the newborn. The enzymes implicated in the digestion of carbohydrates in the intestinal lumen are membrane-bound glycoproteins that are expressed at the apical or microvillus membrane of the enterocytes (1-3). In this chapter, the structural and biosynthetic features of the most important disaccharidases, sucrase-isomaltase and lac- tase-phlorizin hydrolase, and the molecular basis of sugar malabsorption (i.e., en- zyme deficiencies) are discussed. -

Abstract Prevotella copri DSM18205 is a bacterium, classified under Bacteroidetes that can be found in the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The role of P. copri in the GIT is unclear, and elevated numbers of the microbe have been reported both in dietary fiber- induced improvement in glucose metabolism but also in conjunction with certain inflammatory conditions. -

Produced by almost all organisms, these carbohydrates are involved in numerous cellular processes, such as cell structuration, protein maturation and signalling, mediation of protein–protein interactions and cell recognition. The ubiquitous presence of mannosides in the environment means they are a reliable source of carbon and energy for bacteria, which have developed complex strategies to harvest them. -

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 28 November 2019; Accepted: 14 February 2020; Published: 18 February 2020 Abstract: The roles of ceramide and its catabolites, i.e., sphingosine and sphingosine 1-phosphate, in the development of malignancies and the response to anticancer regimens have been extensively described. Moreover, an abundant literature points to the effects of glucosylceramide synthase, the mammalian enzyme that converts ceramide to β-glucosylceramide, in protecting tumor cells from chemotherapy. Much less is known about the contribution of β-glucosylceramide and its breakdown products in cancer progression. In this chapter, we first review published and personal clinical observations that report on the increased risk of developing cancers in patients affected with Gaucher disease, an inborn disorder characterized by defective lysosomal degradation of β-glucosylceramide. -
