New carbohydrate binding domains identified by phage display based functional metagenomic screens of human gut microbiota

Communications Biology, 2023
Uncultured microbes represent a huge untapped biological resource of novel genes and gene products. Although recent genomic and metagenomic sequencing efforts have led to the identification of numerous genes that are homologous to existing annotated ...

Meiofauna at a tropical sandy beach in the SW Atlantic: the influence of seasonality on diversity [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Sandy beaches are dynamic environments housing a large diversity of organisms and providing important environmental services. Meiofaunal metazoan are small organisms that play a key role in the sediment.

Genome sequence and Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZymes) repertoire of the thermophilic Caldicoprobacter algeriensis TH7C1T

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background Omics approaches are widely applied in the field of biology for the discovery of potential CAZymes including whole genome sequencing. The aim of this study was to identify protein encoding genes including CAZymes in order to understand glycans-

Galectins: a key intersection between glycobiology and immunology

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
Galectins are a family of evolutionarily conserved animal lectins, widely distributed from lower invertebrates to mammals. They share sequence and structure similarities in the carbohydrate recognition domain and specificity for polylactosamine-enriched ...

Novel archaeal thermostable cellulases from an oil reservoir metagenome

AMB Express, 2017
Microbial assemblages were sampled from an offshore deep sub-surface petroleum reservoir 2.5 km below the ocean floor off the coast of Norway, providing conditions of high temperature and pressure, to identify new thermostable enzymes.

Discovery of glycoside hydrolase enzymes in an avicel-adapted forest soil fungal community by a metatranscriptomic approach. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
To discover the structural and functional novel glycoside hydrolase enzymes from soil fungal communities that decompose cellulosic biomass, transcripts of functional genes in a forest soil were analyzed.

SACCHARIS: an automated pipeline to streamline discovery of carbohydrate active enzyme activities within polyspecific families and de novo sequence datasets

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Deposition of new genetic sequences in online databases is expanding at an unprecedented rate. As a result, sequence identification continues to outpace functional characterization of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes).

Identification of carbohydrate active enzymes from whole genome sequence of Tilletia indica and sporulation analysis

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
Karnal bunt of wheat is an internationally quarantined disease. One of the major constraints in exporting wheat is prevalence of Karnal bunt (KB). It is caused by Tilletia indica which is a heterothallic fungus and requires fusion of different mating ...
