Functional metagenomics reveals differential chitin degradation and utilization features across free-living and host-associated marine microbiomes
Abstract Background Chitin ranks as the most abundant polysaccharide in the oceans yet knowledge of shifts in structure and diversity of chitin-degrading communities across marine niches is scarce. Here, we integrate cultivation-dependent and -independent approaches to shed light on the chitin proce...
