Carbohydrate-active enzymes targeting plant cell-wall polysaccharides

naked mole-rat gut microbiota is associated with carbohydrate-active enzymes targeting plant cell-wall polysaccharides in naked mole-rats.

“Compared with mice, the naked mole-rat gut microbiota was enriched in carbohydrate-active enzymes targeting plant cell-wall polysaccharides, resembling those found in ruminants.”
