Innovations in CAZyme gene diversity and its modification for biorefinery applications

Biotechnology Reports, 2020
For sustainable growth, concept of biorefineries as recourse to the “fossil derived” energy source is important. Here, the Carbohydrate Active enZymes (CAZymes) play decisive role in generation of biofuels and related sugar-based products utilizing ...

Variation in microbial CAZyme families across degradation severity in a steppe grassland in northern China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Little is known about the effects of grassland degradation on the carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZYme) genes responsible for C cycling. Here we used a metagenomic approach to reveal variation in abundance and composition of CAZyme genes in grassland ...

Influence of Feeding Weaned Piglets with Laminaria digitata on the Quality and Nutritional Value of Meat

Foods, 2022
Laminaria digitata is a novel feedstuff that can be used in pig diets to replace conventional feedstuffs. However, its resilient cell wall can prevent the monogastric digestive system from accessing intracellular nutrients.
