TL;DR

The present study identified genes and characterize hemicellulose degradation strategies of bacterial strains with high xylanolytic activity from the earthworm gut and found that each strain possesses a unique functional repertoire of genes, suggesting a variety of hemicellulolytic strategies that can be attributed to the various isoforms or different carbohydrate-binding modules of these enzymes.

High-cell-density fermentation of Komagataella phaffii enables the overproduction of a novel, broad-substrate endoglucanase, WcEG394 from Fuling (Wolfiporia cocos), for lignocellulose biorefining.

Recombinant WcEG394 efficiently hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, and filter paper, and demonstrated broad substrate specificity toward xylans, pectin, chitin, agarose and agricultural residues such as corn cob and sugarcane bagasse.

Whole-genome sequence analysis of penitrem A-producing Penicillium crustosum isolated from pears: secondary metabolite biosynthesis

Penitrem A is a toxic secondary metabolite (SM) produced by Penicillium crustosum ( P. crustosum ) on various foods such as nuts, dairy products, and fruits. However, the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for SMs including penitrem A in P. crustosum isolated from pears is largely unexplored....

Scalable production of pectinases from Bacillus licheniformis SMIA-2 using agro-Industrial by-products with genomic insights

The study re-analyzed the draft genome of Bacillus licheniformis SMIA-2 and generated a reference-guided pseudo-scaffold. Cross-validated genome annotation identified five candidate loci associated with pectin degradation, including putative pectate lyases, polygalacturonase, and downstream uronate-catabolic genes.
