  • The degradation of dead wood by basidiomycete fungi relies on Fenton chemistry under aerobic conditions. Here, Röllig et al. show that these fungi can also thrive and degrade wood in anoxia, switching from a Fenton chemistry-based process to the secretion of plant cell wall-active enzymes.

  • Functional screening of a large metagenomic library with a droplet microfluidics platform enabled the discovery of SN243, a bacterial β-glucuronidase from the glycoside hydrolase 3 family, which was characterized structurally and biochemically.

  • The human gut microbiota helps us to degrade complex dietary carbohydrates such as xylan and, in turn, the carbohydrate breakdown products control the structure of the microbiota. Here the authors characterize the xylan-degrading apparatus of a key member of the gut microbiota, Bacteroides ovatus.

  • Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are industrially important enzymes that oxidatively deconstruct polysaccharides. Here, Lo Leggio et al. report the activity, spectroscopy and three-dimensional structure of a LPMO of the new CAZy AA13 family active on recalcitrant-retrograded starch.

  • LPMOs catalyze the oxidative breakdown of polysaccharides, thereby facilitating biomass degradation. By analyzing the digestive proteome of firebrats, the authors here identify a yet uncharacterized LPMO family and provide phylogenetic, structural and biochemical insights into its origin and functions.
