The carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZy), http://www.CAZy.org.

§

Known CAZy activities were given according to the CAZy database.

Carbohydrate-active enzymes were detected with the set of CAZy family-specific HMMs defined by Yin et al [24], as deposited on dbCAN (http://csbl.bmb.uga.edu/dbCAN/), in the BLAST searches (E≤10−4). All identified CAZymes were listed in Table S2. Besides, searches for GHs-associated domains were also performed and indexed in Table S3.
