Bioinformatics analysis and transcriptional response information for Pyrococcus furiosus grown on
-glucans led to the identification of a novel isomaltase (PF0132) representing a new glycoside hydrolase (GH) family, a novel GH57 β-amylase (PF0870), and an extracellular starch-binding protein (1,141 amino acids; PF1109-PF1110), in addition to several other putative
-glucan-processing enzymes.
