Marine carbohydrate-active enzymes illuminate microbial ecology, evolution, and carbonate precipitation
Marine carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) in microbial mats build, modify, and degrade the matrix of exopolymeric substances (EPS) that structure these ancient ecosystems and control mineral formation via the alkalinity engine and organic surfaces involved in mineral nucleation and growth. Marine...
