TL;DR: In this article, a metagenomic analysis of the bacterial community resident in the hindgut paunch of a wood-feeding Nasutitermes species (which do not contain cellulose-fermenting protozoa) was performed to show the presence of a large, diverse set of bacterial genes for cellulose and xylan hydrolysis.

TL;DR: The polypeptides of the invention can be used as an additive for a detergent, for processing foods and for chemical synthesis utilizing a reverse reaction as mentioned in this paper, and they can also be used in food processing, brewing, bath additives, alcohol production, peptide synthesis, enanti-lectivity, hide preparation in the leather industry, waste management and animal degradation, silver recovery in the photographic industry, medical treatment, silk degumming, biofilm degradation, biomass conversion to ethanol diodefense, antimicrobial agents and disinfectants, personal care and cosmetics, biotech

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of polynucleotides having any cellulolytic activity, e.g., a cellulase activity, such as an endoglucanase, a cellobiohydrolase, an α-β-glucosidase, β-xylosidases, an arabinofuranosidase and/or an oligomerase activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the polynucleotides encoding them were used in carotenoid, astaxanthin, and isoprenoid biosynthetic pathways for making compounds useful for food and feed supplements, colorants, neutraceuticals, cosmetic and pharmaceutical needs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a set of polypeptides having any cellulolytic activity, e.g., a cellulase activity, such as endoglucanase, cellobiohydrolase, beta-glucosidase, xylanase, mannanse, β-xylosidases, arabinofuranosidase and/or oligomerase activity.
