Abstract Sponge-associated microorganisms play vital roles in marine sponge ecology. This study presents a genomic investigation of Rossellomorea sp. MCCB 382, isolated from Stelletta sp., reveals insights into its adaptations and symbiotic roles. Phylogenomic Overall Genomic Relatedness Index (OGRI) classify 382 as novel species, orangium nov. The genome encodes numerous carbohydrate metabolism enzymes (CAZymes), likely aiding nutrient cycling the host. Unique eukaryotic-like protein...
Abstract Glycoside hydrolases are cellulases which hydrolyze the glycosidic bond between two or more complex carbohydrates, a carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate fraction, during degradation of substrates. The current study reports cellulase coding gene (Cell-KRD) from Krossfjorden sediment metagenome by PCR based screening. enzyme structure reveals that Cell-KRD has catalytic module (CM) belonging to GH5_2 subfamily, is connected binding (CBM5) much longer linker sequence (LS) than its...
