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).

Convergent losses of decay mechanisms and rapid turnover of symbiosis genes in mycorrhizal mutualists. [PDF]

, 2015
To elucidate the genetic bases of mycorrhizal lifestyle evolution, we sequenced new fungal genomes, including 13 ectomycorrhizal (ECM), orchid (ORM) and ericoid (ERM) species, and five saprotrophs, which we analyzed along with other fungal genomes ...

Gene family expansions and contractions are associated with host range in plant pathogens of the genus Colletotrichum [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Many species belonging to the genus Colletotrichum cause anthracnose disease on a wide range of plant species. In addition to their economic impact, the genus Colletotrichum is a useful model for the study of the evolution of host ...

RNAseq reveals hydrophobins that are involved in the adaptation of aspergillus nidulans to lignocellulose [PDF]

, 2016
Background Sugarcane is one of the world’s most profitable crops. Waste steam-exploded sugarcane bagasse (SEB) is a cheap, abundant, and renewable lignocellulosic feedstock for the next-generation biofuels.

Clostridium butyricum and carbohydrate active enzymes contribute to the reduced fat deposition in pigs

iMeta
Pig gastrointestinal tracts harbor a heterogeneous and dynamic ecosystem populated with trillions of microbes, enhancing the ability of the host to harvest energy from dietary carbohydrates and contributing to host adipogenesis and fatness.

Secretory CAZymes profile and GH19 enzymes analysis of Corallococcus silvisoli c25j21

Frontiers in Microbiology
Extracellular enzymes play important roles in myxobacteria degrading macromolecules and preying on other microorganisms. Glycoside hydrolases 19 (GH19) are widely present in myxobacteria, but their evolution and biological functions have not been fully elucidated. Here we investigated the comparative secretory proteome of Corallococcus silvisoli c25j21

Functional metagenomic discovery and characterisation of CAZymes by microfluidic methods

, 2022
Enzymes are the engines of life and the ideal reagents for efficient, sustainable biocatalytic processes. However, the compendium of currently known enzymes does not cater for all desirable activities or exhibit the required properties. Therefore, the discovery and thorough characterisation of new biocatalysts is imperative to smoothen the path for a ...

Structure and function of the topsoil microbiome in Chinese terrestrial ecosystems

Frontiers in Microbiology
While soil microorganisms underpin terrestrial ecosystem functioning, how their functional potential adapts across environmental gradients remains poorly understood, particularly for ubiquitous taxa.

Termites and subsocial roaches inherited many bacterial-borne carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) from their common ancestor

Communications Biology
Termites digest wood using Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) produced by gut bacteria with whom they have cospeciated at geological timescales. Whether CAZymes were encoded in the genomes of their ancestor’s gut bacteria and transmitted to modern ...

Genome Sequence of the Chestnut Blight Fungus Cryphonectria parasitica EP155: A Fundamental Resource for an Archetypical Invasive Plant Pathogen. [PDF]

, 2020
Cryphonectria parasitica is the causal agent of chestnut blight, a fungal disease that almost entirely eliminated mature American chestnut from North America over a 50-year period. Here, we formally report the genome of C. parasitica EP155 using a Sanger
