Figure 1

Diverse CAZy-family genes members were identified in the metagenome from switchgrass compost. The putative reconstructed genes are predicted to fall into 12 different CAZy families. The most abundant families are GH10, GH43, and GH51. Homology-based protein structure predictions were generated using AS2TS (proteinmodel.org) [10]. All members were expressed in E coli and screened for expression and activity. Colored structures were expressed and characterized biochemically while the black and white structures were not.
