Article Abstract
Plant-derived oligosaccharides are promising ecofriendly elicitors of plant immunity. In this study, a β-1,4-mannanase (ManA) from was characterized with broad pH stability, relatively low-temperature activity, and high specificity for konjac glucomannan (KGM), efficiently producing KGM oligosaccharides (KGMOS, DP 2-13). Treatment with KGMOS (10-50 mg/L) enhanced resistance against pv DC3000 ( DC3000), reducing bacterial colonization and disease symptoms while suppressing pathogen-responsive genes. KGMOS elevated HO and NO levels and up-regulated SA- and JA-responsive genes. During infection, KGMOS activated both pathways, increasing hormone levels and defense gene expression. Genetic studies using SA-deficient () and JA-deficient () mutants showed attenuated resistance, with higher bacterial counts and severe symptoms versus those of wild-type plants under KGMOS treatment. These results demonstrate that KGMOS triggers immunomodulation via coordinated SA/JA signaling, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides for crop protection.

Fish gelatin (FG) is a biopolymer with favorable biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and water retention, making it ideal for films, hydrogels, and bio-based applications. This study aimed to comparatively investigate the FG based intelligent films and hydrogels for monitoring shrimp freshness. Intelligent films and hydrogels were prepared using FG as a macromolecular matrix, incorporating ferulic acid (FA)-crosslinked anthocyanin (ACN) as an indicator, and enhanced with polysaccharides (κ-carrageenan (κC), xanthan glucomannan (XG), and konjac glucomannan (KGM)).

Environmentally friendly food packaging has emerged as a viable strategy to replace traditional plastic films. In this study, eugenol Pickering emulsion was constructed with konjac glucomannan (KGM) and tragacanth gum (GT) as stabilizers, and was introduced into the KGM/chitosan (CS) composite film by electrostatic action to develop a new type of active packaging film. Interfacial characterization revealed optimal emulsion stability at a 1:5 KGM-to-GT mass ratio.

Assembly is a natural process where molecules spontaneously form ordered structures with specific functions. In supramolecular co-assembly, interactions between surface soft patches drive structural changes, though this key aspect is often overlooked. In this study, we propose a strategy for supramolecular co-assembly mediated by surface soft patches and apply this approach to optimize the broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of lysozyme (LYS)-konjac glucomannan (KGM) supramolecular co-assembly.

Extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) from Pediococcus pentosaceus were obtained, followed by investigation of their structural and functional properties. Current results indicated the polysaccharides belonged to glucomannans, which mainly consisted of mannose and glucose with a molecular weight of 2248.71 kDa.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a natural polysaccharide polymer. It is degraded by gut microbiota-derived β-mannanase into small-molecule nutrients, which exert diverse physiological regulatory effects. As a prebiotic, KGM modulates gut microbiota composition.
