| Abstract |
A putative glycoside hydrolase family 43 β-xylosidase/α-arabinofuranosidase (CoXyl43) that promotes plant biomass saccharification was isolated via functional screening of a compost microbial metagenomic library and characterized. CoXyl43 promoted the saccharification of plant biomasses, including xylans (xylan and arabinoxylan), rice straw, and Erianthus, by degrading xylooligosaccharide residues to monosaccharide residues. The recombinant CoXyl43 protein exhibited both β-xylosidase and α-arabinofuranosidase activities for chromogenic substrates, with optimal activity at pH 7.5 and 55 °C. Both of these activities were inactivated by ethanol, dimethylsulfoxide, and zinc and copper ions but were activated by manganese ions. Only the β-xylosidase activity of recombinant CoXyl43 was enhanced in the presence of calcium ions. These results indicate that CoXyl43 exhibits unique enzymatic properties useful for biomass saccharification. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 July 2016.
All research outputs
#15,827,358
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#5,634
of 8,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#151,759
of 268,337 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#57
of 133 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,337 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 133 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
