Rich microbial and depolymerising diversity in Antarctic krill gut

Rich microbial and depolymerising diversity in Antarctic krill gut

ABSTRACTWith almost a quadrillion individuals, the Antarctic krill processes five million tons of organic carbon every day during austral summer. This high carbon flux requires a broad range of hydrolytic enzymes to decompose the diverse food-derived biopolymers. While krill itself possesses numerou...
