Abstract
Bee-collected pollen (BCP) and bee bread (BB) are honey bee products known for their beneficial biological properties. The main goal of this study was to investigate BB microbiota and its contribution to bioactivity exerted by BB. The microbiota of BB samples collected at different maturation stages was investigated via culture-independent (Next Generation Sequencing, NGS) and culture-dependent methods. Microbial communities dynamically fluctuate during BB maturation, ending in a stable microbial community structure in mature BB. Bee bread bacterial isolates were tested for phenotypes and genes implicated in the production and secretion of enzymes as well as antibacterial activity. Out of 309 bacterial isolates, 41 secreted hemicellulases, 13 cellulases, 39 amylases, 132 proteinases, 85 Coomassie brilliant blue G or R dye-degrading enzymes and 72 Malachite Green dye-degrading enzymes. Furthermore, out of 309 bacterial isolates, 42 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, 34 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 47 against Salmonella enterica ser. Typhimurium and 43 against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Artificially fermented samples exerted higher antibacterial activity compared to fresh BCP, strongly indicating that BB microbiota contribute to BB antibacterial activity. Our findings suggest that BB microbiota is an underexplored source of novel antimicrobial agents and enzymes that could lead to new applications in medicine and the food industry.

Abstract
Nature exhibits an enormous diversity of organisms that thrive in extreme environments. From snow algae that reproduce at sub-zero temperatures to radiotrophic fungi that thrive in nuclear radiation at Chernobyl, extreme organisms raise many questions about the limits of life. Is there any environment where life could not "find a way"? Although many individual extremophilic organisms have been identified and studied, there remain outstanding questions about the limits of life and the extent to which extreme properties can be enhanced, combined or transferred to new organisms. In this review, we compile the current knowledge on the bioengineering of extremophile microbes. We summarize what is known about the basic mechanisms of extreme adaptations, compile synthetic biology's efforts to engineer extremophile organisms beyond what is found in nature, and highlight which adaptations can be combined. The basic science of extremophiles can be applied to engineered organisms tailored to specific biomanufacturing needs, such as growth in high temperatures or in the presence of unusual solvents.

Abstract
Multiple copper oxidase (MCO) like laccase is widely distributed in higher plant, fungi and bacteria. This study identified MCO like laccase producing bacterium isolated from a wastewater treatment plant based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis, and they were further confirmed by phylogenetic reconstruction. Biochemical and gene characterization of MCO like laccase from Stenotrophomonas sp. YBX1 is presented. Purification of MCO like laccase was carried out by ion exchange HQ Trap column and followed by gel filtration spheracryl S-100 column. The purified MCO like laccase from Stenotrophomonas sp. YBX1 shows a total activity of 1252 units and specific activity 391.2 U/mg and protein concentration 0.32 mg/mL. In SDS PAGE, the approximate molecular mass was found at 66 kDa and further confirmed from an MS spectrum of MALDI-TOF. The purified MCO like laccase is capable of degradation of antibiotics such as tetracycline completely, whereas oxytetracycline (78%) and ampicillin (62%) degraded within 96 min without any redox mediators at pH 5 and 30 ºC. Its degradation pathway was based on identification of metabolites by LC-MS spectrum. The enzymatic degradation may be used in advanced treatment of antibiotics containing wastewater.

Abstract
Microbial communities inhabiting the Antarctic Ocean show psychrophilic and halophilic adaptations conferring interesting properties to the enzymes they produce, which could be exploited in biotechnology and bioremediation processes. Use of cold- and salt-tolerant enzymes allows to limit costs, reduce contaminations, and minimize pretreatment steps. Here, we report on the screening of 186 morphologically diverse microorganisms isolated from marine biofilms and water samples collected in Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea, Antarctica) for the identification of new laccase activities. After primary screening, 13.4 and 10.8% of the isolates were identified for the ability to oxidize 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) and the dye azure B, respectively. Amongst them, the marine Halomonas sp. strain M68 showed the highest activity. Production of its laccase-like activity increased six-fold when copper was added to culture medium. Enzymatic activity-guided separation coupled with mass spectrometry identified this intracellular laccase-like protein (named Ant laccase) as belonging to the copper resistance system multicopper oxidase family. Ant laccase oxidized ABTS and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol, working better at acidic pHs The enzyme showed a good thermostability, with optimal temperature in the 40-50°C range and maintaining more than 40% of its maximal activity even at 10°C. Furthermore, Ant laccase was salt- and organic solvent-tolerant, paving the way for its use in harsh conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first report concerning the characterization of a thermo- and halo-tolerant laccase isolated from a marine Antarctic bacterium.

Abstract
Understanding microbial niche differentiation along ecological and geochemical gradients is critical for assessing the mechanisms of ecosystem response to hydrologic variation and other aspects of global change. The lineage-specific biogeochemical roles of the widespread phylum Acidobacteria in hydrologically sensitive ecosystems, such as peatlands, are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that Acidobacteria sublineages in Sphagnum peat respond differentially to redox fluctuations due to variable oxygen (O2) availability, a typical feature of hydrologic variation. Our genome-centric approach disentangles the mechanisms of niche differentiation between the Acidobacteria genera Holophaga and Terracidiphilus in response to the transient O2 exposure of peat in laboratory incubations. Interlineage functional diversification explains the enrichment of the otherwise rare Holophaga in anoxic peat after transient O2 exposure in comparison to Terracidiphilus dominance in continuously anoxic peat. The observed niche differentiation of the two lineages is linked to differences in their carbon degradation potential. Holophaga appear to be primarily reliant on carbohydrate oligomers and amino acids, produced during the prior period of O2 exposure via the O2-stimulated breakdown of peat carbon, rich in complex aromatics and carbohydrate polymers. In contrast, Terracidiphilus genomes are enriched in diverse respiratory hydrogenases and carbohydrate active enzymes, enabling the degradation of complex plant polysaccharides into monomers and oligomers for fermentation. We also present the first evidence for the potential contribution of Acidobacteria in peat nitrogen fixation. In addition to canonical molybdenum-based diazotrophy, the Acidobacteria genomes harbor vanadium and iron-only alternative nitrogenases. Together, the results better inform the different functional roles of Acidobacteria in peat biogeochemistry under global change. IMPORTANCE Acidobacteria are among the most widespread and abundant members of the soil bacterial community, yet their ecophysiology remains largely underexplored. In acidic peat systems, Acidobacteria are thought to perform key biogeochemical functions, yet the mechanistic links between the phylogenetic and metabolic diversity within this phylum and peat carbon transformations remain unclear. Here, we employ genomic comparisons of Acidobacteria subgroups enriched in laboratory incubations of peat under variable O2 availability to disentangle the lineage-specific functional roles of these microorganisms in peat carbon transformations. Our genome-centric approach reveals that the diversification of Acidobacteria subpopulations across transient O2 exposure is linked to differences in their carbon substrate preferences. We also identify a previously unknown functional potential for biological nitrogen fixation in these organisms. This has important implications for carbon, nitrogen, and trace metal cycling in peat systems.

Abstract
Renewable biofuels, such as biodiesel, bioethanol, and biobutanol, serve as long-term solutions to fossil fuel depletion. A sustainable approach feedstock for their production is plant biomass, which is degraded to sugars with the aid of microbes-derived enzymes, followed by microbial conversion of those sugars to biofuels. Considering their global demand, additional efforts have been made for their large-scale production, which is ultimately leading breakthrough research in biomass energy. Metagenomics is a powerful tool allowing for functional gene analysis and new enzyme discovery. Thus, the present article summarizes the revolutionary advances of metagenomics in the biofuel industry and enlightens the importance of unexplored habitats for novel gene or enzyme mining. Moreover, it also accentuates metagenomics potentials to explore uncultivable microbiomes as well as enzymes associated with them.

Discovery of lignin-transforming bacteria and enzymes in thermophilic environments using stable isotope probing. THE ISME JOURNAL 2022; 16:1944-1956.

Abstract
Characterizing microorganisms and enzymes involved in lignin biodegradation in thermal ecosystems can identify thermostable biocatalysts. We integrated stable isotope probing (SIP), genome-resolved metagenomics, and enzyme characterization to investigate the degradation of high-molecular weight, 13C-ring-labeled synthetic lignin by microbial communities from moderately thermophilic hot spring sediment (52 °C) and a woody "hog fuel" pile (53 and 62 °C zones). 13C-Lignin degradation was monitored using IR-GCMS of 13CO2, and isotopic enrichment of DNA was measured with UHLPC-MS/MS. Assembly of 42 metagenomic libraries (72 Gb) yielded 344 contig bins, from which 125 draft genomes were produced. Fourteen genomes were significantly enriched with 13C from lignin, including genomes of Actinomycetes (Thermoleophilaceae, Solirubrobacteraceae, Rubrobacter sp.), Firmicutes (Kyrpidia sp., Alicyclobacillus sp.) and Gammaproteobacteria (Steroidobacteraceae). We employed multiple approaches to screen genomes for genes encoding putative ligninases and pathways for aromatic compound degradation. Our analysis identified several novel laccase-like multi-copper oxidase (LMCO) genes in 13C-enriched genomes. One of these LMCOs was heterologously expressed and shown to oxidize lignin model compounds and minimally transformed lignin. This study elucidated bacterial lignin depolymerization and mineralization in thermal ecosystems, establishing new possibilities for the efficient valorization of lignin at elevated temperature.

Abstract
Laccases have been broadly applied as a multitasking biocatalyst in various industries, but their applications tend to be limited by easy deactivation, lack of adequate stability, and susceptibility under complex conditions. Identifying stable laccase as a green-biocatalyst is crucial for developing cost-effective biorefining processes. In this direction, we attempted in-silico screening a stable metagenome-derived laccase (PersiLac1) from tannery wastewater in a complex environment. The laccase exhibited high thermostability, retaining 53.19% activity after 180 min at 70 °C, and it was stable in a wide range of pH (4.0-9.0). After 33 days of storage at 50°C, pH 6.0, the enzyme retained 71.65% of its activity. Various metal ions, inhibitors, and organic solvents showed that PersiLac1 has a stable structure. The stable PersiLac1 could successfully remove lignin and phenolic from quinoa husk and rice straw. In the separate hydrolysis and fermentation process (SHF) after 72 h, hydrolysis was obtained 100% and 73.4% for quinoa husk and rice straw, and fermentation by the S. cerevisiae was be produced 41.46 g/L and 27.75g/L ethanol, respectively. Results signified that the novel lignin-degrading enzyme was confirmed to have great potential for industrial application as a green-biocatalyst based on enzymatically triggered to delignification and detoxify lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a diverse group of enzymes that could catalyze the oxidation of different xenobiotic compounds, with simultaneous reduction in oxygen to water. Aside from laccase, one member of the MCO superfamily has shown great potential in the biodegradation of mycotoxins; however, the mycotoxin degradation ability of other MCOs is uncertain. In this study, a novel MCO-encoding gene, StMCO, from Streptomyces thermocarboxydus, was identified, cloned, and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant StMCO exhibited the characteristic blue color and bivalent copper ion-dependent enzyme activity. It was capable of oxidizing the model substrate ABTS, phenolic compound DMP, and azo dye RB5. Notably, StMCO could directly degrade aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) in the absence of mediators. Meanwhile, the presence of various lignin unit-derived natural mediators or ABTS could significantly accelerate the degradation of AFB1 and ZEN by StMCO. Furthermore, the biological toxicities of their corresponding degradation products, AFQ1 and 13-OH-ZEN-quinone, were remarkably decreased. Our findings suggested that efficient degradation of mycotoxins with mediators might be a common feature of the MCOs superfamily. In summary, the unique properties of MCOs make them good candidates for degrading multiple major mycotoxins in contaminated feed and food.

Abstract
A novel thermostable/halotolerant metagenome-derived laccase (PersiLac2) from tannery wastewater was purified to remove textile dyes in this study. The enzyme was highly active over a wide temperature and pH range and maintained 73.35% of its initial activity after 30 days, at 50 °C. The effect of various metal and organic-solvent tolerance on PersiLac2 showed, retaining greater than 53% activity at 800 mM of metal ions, 52.12% activity at 6 M NaCl, and greater than 44.09% activity at 20% organic solvents. PersiLac2 manifested effective removal of eight different textile dyes from azo, anthraquinone, and triphenylmethane families. It decolorized 500 mg/L of Alizarin yellow, Carmine, Congo red and Bromothymol blue with 99.74-55.85% efficiency after 15 min, at 50 °C, without mediator. This enzyme could practically remove dyes from a real textile effluent and it displayed significant detoxification in rice seed germination tests. In conclusion, PersiLac2 could be useful in future for decolorization/detoxification of wastewater.

Abstract
Screening of gene-specific amplicons from metagenomes (S-GAM) is an efficient technique for the isolation of homologous genes from metagenomes. Using the S-GAM approach, we targeted multi-copper oxidase (MCO) genes including laccase and bilirubin oxidase (BOX) in soil and compost metagenomes, and successfully isolated novel MCO core regions. These core enzyme genes shared approximately 70% identity with that of the putative MCO from Micromonospora sp. MP36. According to the principle of S-GAM, the N- and C-terminal regions of the deduced products of the mature gene come from the known parent gene, which should be homologous and compatible with the target gene. We constructed two different MCO hybrid genes using Bacillus subtilis BOX and Micromonospora sp. MP36 MCO, to give Bs-mg-mco and Mic-mg-mco, respectively. The constructed chimeric MCO genes were fused with the maltose-binding protein (MBP) gene at the N-terminus for expression in Escherichia coli cells. We found that MBP-Mic-mg-MCO/Mic-mg-MCO possessed the characteristic properties of laccase, although MBP-Bs-mg-MCO had no activity. This novel laccase (Mic-mg-MCO) demonstrated unique substrate specificity, sufficient activity at neutral pH, and high thermal stability, which are suitable properties for its use as a laccase biocatalyst.

The Sustainable Production of a Novel Laccase from Wheat Bran by Bordetella sp. JWO16: Toward a Total Environment. Catalysts 2021.

Abstract
Laccase is increasingly adopted in diverse industrial and environmental applications, due to its readily accessible requirements for efficient catalytic synthesis and biotransformation of chemicals. However, it is perceived that its industrial production might incur some unfavorable overhead, which leads to expensive market products, and the corresponding negative environmental feedback, due to the use of capital-intensive and precarious chemicals. To this end, this study was designed to evaluate the performance indicators of the valorization of wheat bran by a novel Jb1b laccase and its subsequent application in waste minimization and water management, on a laboratory scale. Optimal Jb1b laccase was produced in submerged fermentation medium containing wheat bran, an agroindustrial residue, through response surface methodology (RSM) algorithm, and was applied in dye decolorization and denim bioscouring, respectively. Results showed that the resultant enzyme manifested unique biochemical properties, such as enhanced tolerance at certain physicochemical conditions, with a residual activity of at least ca. 76%. Furthermore, phenomenally high concentrations of synthetic dyes (0.2% w v−1) were decolorized over 56 h, and a 6 h mediator-supported simultaneous denim bleaching and decolorization of wash effluent was observed. The sustainability of the production and application processes were inferred from the reusability of the fermentation sludge as a potential biofertilizer, with subsequent prospects for the biostimulation and bioaugmentation of contaminated soils, whereas the decolorized water could be adopted for other uses, amongst which horticulture and forestry are typical examples. These phenomena therefore authenticate the favorable environmental feedbacks and overhead realized in this present study.

Abstract
Using soil samples, we screened for microbes that produce biogenic manganese oxides (BMOs) and isolated Mn(II)-oxidizing fungus, namely Pleosporales sp. Mn1 (Mn1). We purified the Mn(II)-oxidizing enzyme from intracellular extracts of Mn1. The enzyme oxidized Mn(II) most effectively at pH 7.0 and 45 °C. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme possessed homology with multicopper oxidases in fungi. The properties of the enzyme and the effects of the pH and inhibitors on the Mn(II)-oxidization activity suggested that the enzyme is a member of the multicopper oxidase family. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the BMOs produced by Mn1 showed a strong correlation with that of a typical poorly crystalized vernadite (δ-MnO2). Since BMOs are some of the most reactive materials in the environment, we investigated a potential new application of BMOs as oxidation catalysts. We confirmed that BMOs oxidized aromatic methyl groups when combined with the purified enzyme and a mediator, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT). BMO oxidation of 3,4-dimethoxytoluene achieved a better yield than that of abiotic MnO2 and white-rot fungus laccase under acidic and neutral pH conditions. Under neutral pH, the BMOs oxidized 3,4-dimethoxytoluene to yield 200-fold more 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde than that of abiotic MnO2. This is the first report to reveal that BMOs combined with a Mn(II)-oxidizing enzyme and mediator can oxidize aromatic hydrocarbons to yield corresponding aldehydes.

Abstract
As the most abundant aromatic polymers on the Earth, lignin has great potential to produce biofuels and aromatic chemicals due to their high carbon content and low oxygen content. Lignin-first biorefinery methods have attracted increasing attention recently for their high-value of aromatic chemicals, and high biofuels productivity from lignocellulosic wastes. Thermostable laccase has proven to be an excellent alternative catalyst in degrading lignin for its versatile catalytic abilities under industrial conditions and pollution-free by-products. Thermostable laccases can be found in native extreme environments or modified by biologically based technologies such as gene recombination expression and enzyme direct evolution. This review demonstrated thermostable laccases and their application in lignin degradation. Future research should focus more on the investigation of the reaction of thermostable laccases with lignin substrates.

Abstract
Laccase from Hb16c and Berl11b2 exhibited remarkable polyextremotolerant properties. A novel high concentration of synthetic dyes was efficiently degraded. Bioscouring of denim was achieved by a mediator-associated laccase treatment. Multiple laccase-encoding genes were observed in a laccase-producing strain.
The aim of this present study was to investigate the environmental proficiency of two laccase producing bacterial strains, Hb16c and Berl11b2. Here, laccases, which were secreted in media containing environmental wastes, were characterized for biochemical and kinetic novelty and applied in the decolourization of some synthetic dyes and subsequently, denim bleaching. The laccases exhibited enhanced pH-, thermo-, psychro-, metal-, halo-, and surfacto-tolerance, eliciting residual activities of at least ca. 71%. Thereafter, the enzymes were able to decolourize novel high concentrations of synthetic dyes (0.2% w v−1) at 56 h of incubation, and also elicit a mediator-assisted perpetual wash up and decolourization of indigo pigment from fabric under 6 h. The outcomes observed in this study therefore warrant the adoption of these isolates for applications toward a sustainable and total environment through production of fine biochemicals, and the minimization of environmental wastes.

Abstract
Bacterial laccases are now known to be abundant in soil and to function outside of the cell facilitating the bacterial degradation of lignin. In this study we wanted to test the hypotheses that: i) Such enzymes can be identified readily in stratified paleosols using metagenomics approaches, ii) The distribution of these genes as potential 'public good' proteins in soil is a function of the soil environment, iii) Such laccase genes can be readily retrieved and expressed in E. coli cloning systems to demonstrate that de novo assembly processes can be used to obtain similar metagenome-derived enzyme activities. To test these hypotheses, in silico gene-targeted assembly was employed to identify genes encoding novel type B two-domain bacterial laccases from alpine soil metagenomes sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq sequencer. The genes obtained from different strata were heterologously cloned, expressed and the gene products were shown to be active against two classical laccase substrates. The use of a metagenome-driven pipeline to obtain such active biocatalysts has demonstrated the potential for gene mining to be applied systematically for the discovery of such enzymes. These data ultimately further demonstrate the application of soil pedology methods to environmental enzyme discovery. As an interdisciplinary effort, we can now establish that paleosols can serve as a useful source of novel biocatalytic enzymes for various applications. We also, for the first time, link soil stratigraphy to enzyme profiling for widespread functional gene activity in paleosols.

Abstract
The biochemical properties of two proteobacteria laccases were assessed. Polyextremotolerant qualities of the laccases were identified. Multiple laccase-encoding genes were observed in laccase-producing strains. Their implication in biotechnological applications was deliberated.
Given the upwelling of a variety of potential applications laccases could participate in, it would be fitting to equally make available laccases that are well suited for the aforementioned. Therefore historian understanding of the catalytic and physicochemical properties is desirable. Owing to this, the biochemical properties of the crude laccases from Achromobacter xylosoxidans HWN16 (Hb9c) and Citrobacter freundii LLJ 16 (Ie1c) were assessed. Furthermore, a hint of the molecular basis for their production from respective organisms was presented. Results showed that both laccases were tolerant, and sometimes had their activities improved by the set of parameters tested. They were active at broad range of temperature (0–90 °C), pH (3–11), and were equally thermo- and pH-stable. Their activities were either improved, or left unabated by cations, detergents, and chloride (5–40%), however, the highlight of the study was their augmented activity, when they were incubated with certain concentrations of fluoride (2–20%), a potent inhibitor. They were depicted to have multiple homologous laccase encoding genes, on molecular evaluation, which may be responsible the conferral of these remarkable qualities they possess. Therefore, the laccases might be beneficial, if employed in formulations for a wide range of environmental and biotechnological applications. Moreover, the molecular machinery of their production be exploited for economical benefits in the immediate future.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to investigate lignin accumulation and its relationship with the composition of bacterial laccase-like genes in three arable lands (i.e., upland limestone soil (UL), upland red soil (UR), and upland-paddy rotation red soil (UPR)), which are subjected to long-term straw incorporation. After 9-13 years of straw incorporation, the lignin content significantly increased from 337.1, 414.5, and 201.6 mg/kg soil to 2096.5, 2092.4, and 1972.2 mg/kg soil in UL, UR, and UPR, respectively. The dominant lignin monomer changed from vanillyl (V)-type to cinnamyl (C)-type in UR. Both V- and C-types were the dominant monomers in UPR, and V-type monomer remained the dominant monomer in UL. Compared with the treatment without straw, straw incorporation significantly promoted the activity of laccase enzyme and the abundance of bacterial laccase-like genes in all soils. The redundancy analysis showed that the main influencing factors on lignin accumulation patterns with straw incorporation were the laccase enzyme activity, nitrogen availability, and some specific bacterial communities possessing the laccase-like genes (e.g., Thermotogae and Acidobacteria). The variation partitioning analysis confirmed that the strongest influencing factor on lignin accumulation was the composition of bacterial laccase-like genes (explained 31.4% of variance). The present study provides novel insights into the importance of bacterial laccase-like genes in shaping lignin monomer accumulation with straw incorporation in arable soils.

Abstract
Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a pervasive family of enzymes that oxidize a wide range of phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic substrates, concomitantly with the reduction of dioxygen to water. MCOs are usually divided into two functional classes: metalloxidases and laccases. Given their broad substrate specificity and eco-friendliness (molecular oxygen from air as is used as the final electron acceptor and they only release water as byproduct), laccases are regarded as promising biological green tools for an array of applications. Among these laccases, those of bacterial origin have attracted research attention because of their notable advantages, including broad substrate spectrum, wide pH range, high thermostability, and tolerance to alkaline environments. This review aims to summarize the significant research efforts on the properties, mechanisms and structures, laccase-mediator systems, genetic engineering, immobilization, and biotechnological applications of the bacteria-source laccases and laccase-like enzymes, which principally include Bacillus laccases, actinomycetic laccases and some other species of bacterial laccases. In addition, these enzymes may offer tremendous potential for environmental and industrial applications.

Abstract
The bovine rumen hosts a diverse microbiota, which is highly specialized in the degradation of lignocellulose. Ruminal bacteria, in particular, are well equipped to deconstruct plant cell wall polysaccharides. Nevertheless, their potential role in the breakdown of the lignin network has never been investigated. In this study, we used functional metagenomics to identify bacterial redox enzymes acting on polyaromatic compounds. A new methodology was developed to explore the potential of uncultured microbes to degrade lignin derivatives, namely kraft lignin and lignosulfonate. From a fosmid library covering 0.7 Gb of metagenomic DNA, three hit clones were identified, producing enzymes able to oxidize a wide variety of polyaromatic compounds without the need for the addition of copper, manganese, or mediators. These promiscuous redox enzymes could thus be of potential interest both in plant biomass refining and dye remediation. The enzymes were derived from uncultured Clostridia, and belong to complex gene clusters involving proteins of different functional types, including hemicellulases, which likely work in synergy to produce substrate degradation.
