pH-rate profiles, full kinetic data plots, and carbohydrate product analyses are available in Supplementary Figures S1–S20 for all enzymes.

Data is only given for those substrates on which a given enzyme was active. For example, BoGH5A and BoGH9A were not active on arabinoxylan, barley mixed-linkage glucan, curdlan, galactan, gluco- and galactomannan, lichenan, carboxymethyl cellulose, or hydroxyethyl cellulose. The full panel of chromogenic and natural substrates against which enzymes were tested is described in the Methods (Supplementary Information).

These units apply to all values in the column, unless otherwise stated. Standard errors of means are indicated.

§

For substrates for which individual kcat and Km values are not reported, kcat/Km values were obtained from linear curve fitting to initial rate data in the [S] ≪ Km(apparent) regime, where the standard Michaelis-Menten equation reduces to vo = kcat[E][S]/Km
