Abundance and genetic diversity of microbial polygalacturonase and pectate lyase in the sheep rumen ecosystem.

Abundance and genetic diversity of microbial polygalacturonase and pectate lyase in the sheep rumen ecosystem.

Efficient degradation of pectin in the rumen is necessary for plant-based feed utilization. The objective of this study was to characterize the diversity, abundance, and functions of pectinases from microorganisms in the sheep rumen.A total of 103 unique fragments of polygalacturonase (PF00295) and...
