Watanabe, S. (2020) Characterization of L-2-keto-3-deoxyfuconate aldolases in a nonphosphorylating L-fucose metabolism pathway in anaerobic bacteria.

A novel pathway of L-fucose metabolism was discovered in strictly anaerobic and pathogenic bacterium. The genetic context in bacterial genomes and the screening for potential substrates can help ...

By Dr. Chinta Sidharthan Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel larger brains, offering a ...

The sugar, called L-fucose, ... May 13, 2021 — A new study with zebrafish shows that a deadly form of skin cancer -- melanoma -- alters the metabolism of healthy tissues elsewhere in the body.

New research from scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) suggests that a rare sugar found in seaweed, mushrooms, seeds and other foods may be able to help treat ...
