Supporting data for 'Functional characterization of sialidases from oral bacteria'

This study delves into an in-depth investigation of the sialidase homologues present in oral bacteria, with a particular emphasis on Schaalia odontolytica, Schaalia meyeri, and Capnocytophaga ochracea. The primary focus of this comprehensive analysis encompasses the assessment of recombinant sialidase protein activity, the distribution of sialidase genes within the bacterial genome, as well as the exploration of its biochemical properties and biological functions. The comprehensive analysis of sialidase homologues contributes significantly to the current understanding of these enzymes and their diverse roles in bacterial physiology or pathogenesis. This data not only sheds light on the distinctive functions of sialidases that have remained unexplored thus far but also provides a solid foundation for further research in this field.
