Abstrakt: Microorganisms play a primary role in regulating biogeochemical cycles and are a valuable source of enzymes that have biotechnological applications, such as carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). However, the inability to culture the majority of microorganisms that exist in natural ecosystems restricts access to potentially novel bacteria and beneficial CAZymes. While commonplace molecular-based culture-independent methods such as metagenomics enable researchers to study microbial communities directly from environmental samples, recent progress in long-read sequencing technologies are advancing the field. We outline key methodological stages that are required as well as describe specific protocols that are currently used for long-read metagenomic projects dedicated to CAZyme discovery.
