Multi-dimensional roles of CAZymes in functional and fermented foods

Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) are a diverse group of enzymes produced by microbes, plants, and animals that play a central role in carbohydrate metabolism. Families of CAZymes, including GHs (Glycoside Hydrolases), GTs (Glycosyltransferases), PLs (Polysaccharide Lyases),...

Environmental Filtering Dominates Butterfly Community Assembly Along Himalayan Elevational Gradients

ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the processes underlying biodiversity patterns and community assembly across mountain elevational gradients remains a central question in biogeography. We examined elevational patterns of butterfly taxonomic and functional diversity to evaluate the rela...

Integrated life cycle and techno-economic assessment of rice straw-based bioethanol production in India with on-site enzyme integration

Open-field burning of rice straw remains a major environmental challenge in India, highlighting the need for sustainable residue management pathways. This study presents an integrated life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic analysis (TEA) of rice straw-based bioethanol pr...

The Zooplankton International Geospatial dataset: A global repository of spatiotemporal freshwater zooplankton community composition data from lakes and reservoirs to support ecological research

Abstract Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide range of environmental gradients; however, these datasets are limited d...
