Examples of carbohydrases and CBM proteins detected in <i>S. degradans</i> supernatants by mass spectrometry.

1Protein was detected in supernatants of cultures grown in the following growth substrates: Avicel (∼70% crystalline cellulose), xylan (Birchwood glucuronoarabinoxylan). 2Predictions of function and module determination utilizing the routines used for the updates of the CAZy database (www.cazy.org/CAZY/). 3Module abbreviations: CBM, carbohydrate binding module; UNK, unknown function; PSL, polyserine linker; LPB, lipobox signature sequence; GH, glycosyl hydrolase; EPR, glutamate-proline rich region. 4Gene number having the prefix “Sde”, for Saccharophagus degradans as assigned in Jun 15, 2005 genome assembly 5MW and amino acid count calculated using the protParam tool at http://us.expasy.org/tools/ based on DOE/JGI gene model amino acid sequence translations including any predicted signal peptide.
