Microbial carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) genes and diversity from Menagesha Suba natural forest soils of Ethiopia as revealed by shotgun metagenomic sequencing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The global over-reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels has led to the emission of greenhouse gases, creating a critical global environmental challenge. There is an urgent need for alternative solutions like biofuels. Advanced biofuel is a renewable sustainable energy generated from lignocellulosic plant materials, which can significantly contribute to mitigating CO₂ emissions. Microbial Carbohydrate Active Enzymes (CAZymes) are the most crucial enzymes for the generation of sustainable biofuel energy. The present study designed shotgun metagenomics approaches to assemble, predict, and annotate, aiming to gain an insight into the taxonomic diversity, annotate CAZymes, and identify carbohydrate hydrolyzing CAZymes from microbiomes in Menagesha suba forest soil f
