Plant cell walls represent the most plentiful renewable organic resource on earth, but due to their heterogeneity, complex structure and partial recalcitrance, their use as biotechnological feedstock is still limited. In order to identify efficient enzymes for polysaccharide breakdown, we have carried out functional screening of metagenomic fosmid libraries from biogas fermenter microbial communities grown on sugar beet pulp, an arabinan-rich agricultural residue, or other sources containing microbes that efficiently depolymerize polysaccharides, using CPH (chromogenic polysaccharide hydrogel) or ICB (insoluble chromogenic biomass) labeled polysaccharide substrates. Seventy-one depolymerase-encoding genes were identified from 55 active fosmid clones by using Illumina and Sanger sequencing and dbCAN CAZyme (carbohydrate-active enzyme) annotation. An around 56 kb assembled DNA fragment putatively originating from Xylanivirga thermophila strain or a close relative was analyzed in

Sometimes you have to go with your gut. I am not an expert in genetics and, as ever, stand to be corrected. However my attention was drawn to some research published by the Spanish medical journal D-Salud-Discovery. Their advisory board of eminently qualified physicians and scientists lends further credibility to their research. Their claim is astounding.
The genetic primers and probes used in RT-PCR tests to identify SARS-CoV-2 do not target anything specific. I followed the search techniques outlined in this English translation of their report and can corroborate the accuracy of their claims about the nucleotide sequences listed in the World Health Organisations protocols. You can do the same.
