Open AccessGut microbiome of the largest living rodent harbors unprecedented enzymatic systems to degrade plant polysaccharides
The largest living rodent, capybara, can efficiently depolymerize and utilize lignocellulosic biomass through microbial symbiotic mechanisms yet elusive. Herein, we elucidate the microbial community compositio...

Open AccessXyloglucan processing machinery in Xanthomonas pathogens and its role in the transcriptional activation of virulence factors
Xyloglucans are highly substituted and recalcitrant polysaccharides found in the primary cell walls of vascular plants, acting as a barrier against pathogens. Here, we reveal that the diverse and economically ...

Open AccessLignolytic-consortium omics analyses reveal novel genomes and pathways involved in lignin modification and valorization
Lignin is a heterogeneous polymer representing a renewable source of aromatic and phenolic bio-derived products for the chemical industry. However, the inherent structural complexity and recalcitrance of ligni...

A Novel Member of GH16 Family Derived from Sugarcane Soil Metagenome
Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes found in all living kingdoms that are involved in multiple physiological functions. Due to their multiple enzymatic activities, GHs are broadly applied in bioethanol, foo...

Development of hemicellulolytic enzyme mixtures for plant biomass deconstruction on target biotechnological applications
An essential step in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol and other biorefinery products is conversion of cell wall polysaccharides into fermentable sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis. The objectiv...
