A clone encoding carboxymethylcellulase activity was isolated during functional screening of a human gut metagenomic library using Lactococcus lactis MG1363 as heterologous host. The insert sequence revealed a glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) catalytic domain with sequence similarity to a gene fro...
The gut bacterium Coprococcus sp. ART55/1 has been found to encode two genes containing glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) catalytic domains. These genes are hypothesised to impact upon the ability of this bacteria to utilise different carbon sources. To further investigate the role of these genes, ...
