Characterisation of the enzyme transport path between shipworms and their bacterial symbionts

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Giovanna Pesante from the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products, Department of, University of York, York , DD, UK have published the article: Characterisation of the enzyme transport path between shipworms and their bacterial symbionts, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors provide a characterisation of the path through which bacterial CAZymes produced in the gills of the shipworm Lyrodus pedicellatus reach the distant caecum to contribute to the digestion of wood. Through a combination of transcriptomics proteomics X-ray microtomography electron microscopy studies and in vitro biochemical characterisation the authors show that wood-digesting enzymes . . .
