CAZymes are enzymes responsible for the breakdown, modification or synthesis of glycoconjugates, oligosaccharides and Plant Polysaccharides / Dietary Fibers (DF) / Plant Glycans
Changing exposure to antibiotics and infectious diseases could also be drivers of Glycan-Degrading Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) / CAZy changes
