Carbohydrate-active enzymes from the zygomycete fungus Rhizopus oryzae: a highly specialized approach to carbohydrate degradation depicted at genome level

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background Rhizopus oryzae is a zygomycete filamentous fungus, well-known as a saprobe ubiquitous in soil and as a pathogenic/spoilage fungus, causing Rhizopus rot and mucomycoses. Results Carbohydrate Active enzyme (CAZy) annotation of the R.

Diversity of Weissella confusa in Pozol and Its Carbohydrate Metabolism

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The genus Weissella is composed of a group of Gram-positive facultative anaerobe bacteria with fermentative metabolism. Strains of this genus have been isolated from various ecological niches, including a wide variety of fermented cereal foods.

Characteristics of Microbiota in Different Segments of the Digestive Tract of Orange‐Collared Keelback (Rhabdophis himalayanus) [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Using shotgun metagenomic sequencing and untargeted metabolomics, we characterized the microbial communities and metabolic profiles across the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine of Rhabdophis himalayanus. Although overall microbial diversity was similar among digestive tract segments, distinct taxonomic, functional, and metabolic differences

Retracing Storage Polysaccharide Evolution in Stramenopila

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Eukaryotes most often synthesize storage polysaccharides in the cytosol or vacuoles in the form of either alpha (glycogen/starch)- or beta-glucosidic (chrysolaminarins and paramylon) linked glucan polymers. In both cases, the glucose can be packed either

Tillage Practice Impacts on the Carbon Sequestration Potential of Topsoil Microbial Communities in an Agricultural Field

Agronomy, 2020
Soil microorganisms are the core force driving the conversion of plant residues into soil organic carbon (SOC). Identifying the changes in soil microorganism responses to tillage practices is a key step in understanding the SOC sequestration potential ...

Homology to peptide pattern for annotation of carbohydrate-active enzymes and prediction of function

BMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Background Carbohydrate-active enzymes are found in all organisms and participate in key biological processes. These enzymes are classified in 274 families in the CAZy database but the sequence diversity within each family makes it a major task to ...

Identification of putative rhamnogalacturonan-II specific glycosyltransferases in Arabidopsis using a combination of bioinformatics approaches.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Rhamnogalacturonan-II (RG-II) is a complex plant cell wall polysaccharide that is composed of an α(1,4)-linked homogalacturonan backbone substituted with four side chains. It exists in the cell wall in the form of a dimer that is cross-linked by a borate
