TL;DR: The gene encoding a novel modular xylanase from Cellulosimicrobium sp.

TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that the relatively highly active XylK lacking exo-xylanolytic activity is a promising candidate for the efficient production of non-digestible xylooligosaccharides that may have beneficial effects to gastrointestinal health via promotion of the growth of probiotics.

TL;DR: The gene (1608-bp) encoding a GH6 endo-β-1,4-glucanase (CelL) from the earthworm-symbiotic bacterium Cellulosimicrobium funkei HY-13 was cloned from its whole genome sequence, expressed recombinantly, and biochemically characterized.

TL;DR: The results of enzymatic degradation of birchwood xylan and xylooligosaccharides revealed that rXylU preferentially hydrolyzed the substrates to xylobiose as the primary degradation product, indicating that r XylU was a peculiar GH10 β-1,4-xylanase with substrate specificity, which was different from its retaining homologs.

TL;DR: The rXylH gene was identified from the genome of Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum HY-17, a gastrointestinal bacterium of Gryllotalpa orientalis, and was an alkali-tolerant multifunctional enzyme possessing endo-β- 1,4-xylanase activity together with β-1,3/β-4- glucanase activity that exhibited its highest xylanolytic activity at pH 9.0.
