A Bibliometric Analysis and Review of Pullulan-Degrading Enzymes-Past and Current Trends

Ummirul Mukminin Kahar et al.

Summary: This review provides a bibliometric analysis of publications and patents related to pullulan-degrading enzymes, as well as an overview of the biological aspects and protein engineering of these enzymes. The data suggest the need for improved international collaboration and the use of next-generation sequencing techniques to expand the knowledge about pullulan-degrading enzyme sequences.

Enzymatic analysis of truncation mutants of a type II pullulanase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis P2P3, a resistant starch-degrading gut bacterium

Sun-Young Kim et al.

Summary: A putative type II pullulanase gene, pulP, was identified in Bifidobacterium adolescentis P2P3, which contains an alpha-amylase domain and a pullulanase type I domain. The study found that deletion of a catalytic domain affected enzyme activity, removal of the C-terminal domain decreased optimal temperature and thermostability, and elimination of CBMs led to loss of substrate binding affinity and hydrolysis activities.

Kavita Agarwal et al.

Summary: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition in which there are few lactobacilli and abundant anaerobic bacteria in the vaginal microbiome. BV is associated with various poor health outcomes for women. Women with BV often have detectable and sometimes markedly elevated levels of sialidase activity in vaginal fluids.
