Several genes encoding enzymes with the same activity are necessary for aerobic fungal degradation of cellulose in nature. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The cellulose-degrading fungal enzymes are glycoside hydrolases of the GH families and lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. The entanglement of glycoside hydrolase families and functions makes it difficult to predict the enzymatic activity of glycoside ...

The peptide hydrolase system of Lactobacillus reuteri
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2001 Peptide hydrolase system of Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098, a lactic acid bacteria of sourdough origin, was investigated. This microorganism has a broad range of peptidases consisting of an active aminopeptidase, X-Prolyl-dipeptidylaminopeptidase, dipeptidase and tripeptidase.
