Comparative genomic analysis of hemicellulose-degrading potential in bacterial isolates from the anterior intestine of Eisenia andrei (Bouché, 1972)

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.
