Microbial carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) genes and diversity from Menagesha Suba natural forest soils of Ethiopia as revealed by shotgun metagenomic sequencing [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background The global over-reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels has led to the emission of greenhouse gases, creating a critical global environmental challenge. There is an urgent need for alternative solutions like biofuels.

CAZac: an activity descriptor for carbohydrate-active enzymes

Nucleic Acids Research
Abstract The Carbohydrate-Active enZYme database (CAZy; www.cazy.org) has been providing the reference classification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) for >30 years. Based on literature survey, the sequence-based families of CAZymes are enriched with functional data by using the International Union of Biochemistry and ...

Approaches to Investigate Selective Dietary Polysaccharide Utilization by Human Gut Microbiota at a Functional Level

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The human diet is temporally and spatially dynamic, and influenced by culture, regional food systems, socioeconomics, and consumer preference. Such factors result in enormous structural diversity of ingested glycans that are refractory to digestion by ...

Genome-wide identification reveals conserved carbohydrate-active enzyme repertoire in termites

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Termites play an important role as decomposers of organic matter in forests by utilizing their gut symbionts and associated carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) to digest wood materials. However, there is a limited understanding of the entire repertoire

Carbohydrate-active enzymes in animal feed

Biotechnology Advances, 2023
Considering an ever-growing global population, which hit 8 billion people in the fall of 2022, it is essential to find solutions to avoid the competition between human food and animal feed for croplands. Agricultural co-products have become important components of the circular economy with their use in animal feed.

Characterization of a novel multidomain CE15-GH8 enzyme encoded by a polysaccharide utilization locus in the human gut bacterium Bacteroides eggerthii

Scientific Reports, 2021
Bacteroidetes are efficient degraders of complex carbohydrates, much thanks to their use of polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). An integral part of PULs are highly specialized carbohydrate-active enzymes, sometimes composed of multiple linked domains

Redirecting substrate regioselectivity using engineered ΔN123-GBD-CD2 branching sucrases for the production of pentasaccharide repeating units of S. flexneri 3a, 4a and 4b haptens

Scientific Reports, 2021
The (chemo-)enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides has been hampered by the lack of appropriate enzymatic tools with requisite regio- and stereo-specificities.

Arabinogalactan proteins: focus on carbohydrate active enzymes [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a highly diverse class of cell surface proteoglycans that are commonly found in most plant species. AGPs play important roles in many cellular processes during plant development, such as reproduction, cell proliferation, pattern formation and growth, and in plant-microbe interaction.
