    Xylan
    `Xylan` is a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls and some algae. It is found in almost all parts of the plant. Xylan is also found in the cell walls of some green algae, especially macrophytic siphonous genera, where it replaces cellulose. Similarly, it replaces the inner fibrillar cell-wall layer of cellulose in some red algae. CAS number [9014-63-5]

    Xylanase
    `Xylanase` is the name given to a class of enzymes which degrade the linear polysaccharide `beta-1,4-xylan` into xylose, thus breaking down hemicellulose, which is a major component of the cell wall of plants. As such, it plays a major role in the digestive system of herbivorous micro-organisms (mammals, conversely, do not produce xylanase). Additionally, xylanases are present in fungi for the degradation of plant matter into usable nutrients. ...

    Xylaria
    `Xylaria` is a genus of ascomycetous fungi commonly found growing on dead wood. Two of the common species of the genus are `Xylaria hypoxylon` and `Xylaria polymorpha ` `X. hypoxylon`, also known under the common names `Stag's Horn` or `Candle-snuff Fungus`, is the most conspicuous because of its erect 3-7 cm tall, antler-like ascocarps (fruitbodies) which are black at the base (where the perithecia are embedded) but white and branched towards...

    Xylaria polymorpha
    `Xylaria polymorpha` (Dead man's fingers) is a plant pathogen. It is a common inhabitant of forest and woodland areas, usually growing from the bases of rotting or injured tree stumps and decaying wood. It has also been known to colonise substrates like woody legume pods, petioles, and herbaceous stems. It is characterised by its elongated upright, clavate, or strap-like stromata poking up through the ground, much like a dead man's fingers. The g...
