A carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) profile links successful metabolic specialization of Prevotella to its abundance in gut microbiota [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
Gut microbiota participates in diverse metabolic and homeostatic functions related to health and well-being. Its composition varies between individuals, and depends on factors related to host and microbial communities, which need to adapt to utilize ...

Spatially Specialized Nasopharynx–Rectal Microbiomes in Golden Snub-Nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) [PDF]

Biology
Background: Understanding the nasopharyngeal (NAS) and rectal (INT) microbiomes is critical to maintain host health. However, their functional roles in shaping microbial network structure and niche differentiation remain unexplored in most animal species,

CAZome comparison in relation to host plant for selected Sordariomycete and Dothidiomycete plant pathogenic fungi [PDF]

Frontiers in Fungal Biology
IntroductionWhile most studies focus on the effectors involved in plant infection, another important aspect is the degradation of the plant cell wall, as this is the main physical barrier protecting the plant from pathogens.

Strategies for GH functional annotation: toward harmonized and predictive CAZymology [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts
Background The functional annotation and biochemical characterization of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) for polysaccharides and oligosaccharides deconstruction are a major challenge. Here, we traced the transition from traditional “activity first” approaches,

Microbial Functional Potentials Differ Among Monospecific and Mixed Moss Biocrusts in an Alpine Sandy Ecosystem [PDF]

Biology
Moss-dominated biological soil crusts are associated with carbon and nitrogen cycling in dryland and alpine sandy ecosystems, but functional differentiation among closely related moss species and their mixed assemblages remains unclear.

Influence of salinity on the diversity and composition of carbohydrate metabolism, nitrogen and sulfur cycling genes in lake surface sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Exploring functional gene composition is essential for understanding the biogeochemical functions of lakes. However, little is known about the diversity and composition of biogeochemical cycling genes and their influencing factors in saline lakes.

Complementary Contribution of Fungi and Bacteria to Lignocellulose Digestion in the Food Stored by a Neotropical Higher Termite

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Lignocellulose digestion in termites is achieved through the functional synergy between gut symbionts and host enzymes. However, some species have evolved additional associations with nest microorganisms that collaborate in the decomposition of plant ...
