dbCAN-PUL: a database of experimentally characterized CAZyme gene clusters and their substrates [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2020
Abstract PULs (polysaccharide utilization loci) are discrete gene clusters of CAZymes (Carbohydrate Active EnZymes) and other genes that work together to digest and utilize carbohydrate substrates. While PULs have been extensively characterized in Bacteroidetes, there exist PULs from other bacterial phyla, as well as archaea and ...

dbCAN-seq update: CAZyme gene clusters and substrates in microbiomes

Nucleic Acids Research, 2022
Abstract Carbohydrate Active EnZymes (CAZymes) are significantly important for microbial communities to thrive in carbohydrate rich environments such as animal guts, agricultural soils, forest floors, and ocean sediments. Since 2017, microbiome sequencing and assembly have produced numerous metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs).

Metatranscriptomic holobiont analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes in the millipede Telodeinopus aoutii (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
As important decomposers of soil organic matter, millipedes contribute to lignocellulose decomposition and nutrient cycling. The degradation of lignocellulose requires the action of several carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and, in most invertebrates,

Microbial carbohydrate-active enzymes influence soil carbon by regulating the of plant- and fungal-derived biomass decomposition in plateau peat wetlands under differing water conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Peatlands are important carbon sinks and water sources in terrestrial ecosystems. It is important to explore their microbial-driven water-carbon synergistic mechanisms to understand the driving mechanisms of carbon processes in peatlands.

Expression-based clustering of CAZyme-encoding genes of Aspergillus niger [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2017
The Aspergillus niger genome contains a large repertoire of genes encoding carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) that are targeted to plant polysaccharide degradation enabling A. niger to grow on a wide range of plant biomass substrates. Which genes need to be activated in certain environmental conditions depends on the composition of the available ...

Carbohydrate-active enzymes in pythium and their role in plant cell wall and storage polysaccharide degradation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) are involved in the metabolism of glycoconjugates, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides and, in the case of plant pathogens, in the degradation of the host cell wall and storage compounds.
