Functional diversity of carbohydrate-active enzymes enabling a bacterium to ferment plant biomass.
Microbial metabolism of plant polysaccharides is an important part of environmental carbon cycling, human nutrition, and industrial processes based on cellulosic bioconversion. Here we demonstrate a broadly applicable method to analyze how microbes catabolize plant polysaccharides that integrates ca...
