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.

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 ...

Phylogenetic analysis of xylan-degrading hemicellulases from Talaromyces and Penicillium: taxonomic and ecophysiological implications

Frontiers in Microbiology
Xylan degradation in filamentous fungi relies on a diverse repertoire of hemicellulases whose evolutionary history and taxonomic distribution remain incompletely resolved.

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

Multi-omics analysis reveals the carbohydrate-active enzyme repertoire involved in degrading complex arabinoxylans in Penicillium parvum 4–14

Microbial Cell Factories
Background Corn bran arabinoxylan (CBAX) is one of the most structurally complex xylans in nature. The bioconversion of CBAX into value-added products remains challenging because the substrate is resistant to pure xylanases and commercial enzyme ...

dbCAN-HGM: CAZyme gene clusters in gut microbiomes of diverse human populations

Nucleic Acids Research
Abstract CAZymes (Carbohydrate Active EnZymes) play key metabolic functions in human gut microbiomes (HGM). Genes of glycan degrading CAZymes often form physically linked CAZyme Gene Clusters (CGCs) in gut bacterial genomes. Here we developed dbCAN-HGM (https://pro.unl.edu/dbCAN_HGM), a comprehensive data repository for human gut ...

Anaerobic fungi in the tortoise alimentary tract illuminate early stages of host-fungal symbiosis and Neocallimastigomycota evolution

Nature Communications
Anaerobic gut fungi (AGF, Neocallimastigomycota) reside in the alimentary tract of herbivores. While their presence in mammals is well documented, evidence for their occurrence in non-mammalian hosts is currently sparse.
