Glycosyl hydrolases selected for gene synthesis and metagenomic sequence query results.

Analysis of the five mucilage metagenomes using the strategies depicted in Fig 1 and S1 Fig led to the selection of the following full-length coding sequences that were annotated in genomes that had been previously deposited to the GenBank database. “GH Family” corresponds to the selected enzyme coding sequence’s designation within the CAZy database. “Abundance Hits” refers to the number of partial sequences across all five mucilage metagenome samples that had sequence alignment hits to the selected full-length GH coding sequence. “Sequence Similarity” indicates the percentage of sequence similarity produced by alignment between the mucilage metagenome partial sequences and the full-length coding sequence from GenBank that was selected for gene synthesis.
