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

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 ...

Expansion of the enzymatic repertoire of the CAZy database to integrate auxiliary redox enzymes

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2013
BackgroundSince its inception, the carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZy; http://www.cazy.org) has described the families of enzymes that cleave or build complex carbohydrates, namely the glycoside hydrolases (GH), the polysaccharide lyases (PL ...

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.
