Fecal Material of Captive Wild Animals as Source of CAZymes With Application Potential. [PDF]
ChembiochemWith the goal to identify a novel resource of enzymes, we tested for the potential of fecal metagenomes of captive wild animals to provide CAZymes. Our data show that CAZymes profiles differed between animals with varying gut physiology and diet, and that metagenomes of captive wild animals can be considered source of diverse CAZymes including rare and
