1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundEconomical production of fuels and chemicals from plant biomass requires the efficient use of sugars derived from the plant cell wall. Neurospora crassa, a model lignocellulosic degrading fungus, is capable of breaking down the complex structure of the plant cell wall. In addition to cellulases and hemicellulases, N. crassa secretes lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), which cleave cellulose by generating oxidized sugars-particularly aldonic acids. However, the strategies N. crassa employs to utilize these sugars are unknown.

resultsWe identified an aldonic acid utilization pathway in N. crassa, comprised of an extracellular hydrolase (NCU08755), cellobionic acid transporter (CBT-1, NCU05853) and cellobionic acid phosphorylase (CAP, NCU09425). Extracellular cellobionic acid could be imported directly by CBT-1 or cleaved to gluconic acid and glucose by a β-glucosidase (NCU08755) outside the cells. Intracellular cellobionic acid was further cleaved to glucose 1-phosphate and gluconic acid by CAP. However, it remains unclear how N. crassa utilizes extracellular gluconic acid. The aldonic acid pathway was successfully implemented in Saccharomyces cerevisiae when N. crassa gluconokinase was co-expressed, resulting in cellobionic acid consumption in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

conclusionsWe successfully identified a branched aldonic acid utilization pathway in N. crassa and transferred its essential components into S. cerevisiae, a robust industrial microorganism.
