Inference of phenotype-defining functional modules of protein families for microbial plant biomass degraders

Table 1 Functional characterization of the consensus plant biomass degradation modules M1 to M5

Module^a,b	Description
M1	Lignocellulose degradation (cellulose and hemicellulose degradation)
M2	Xylan binding and xyloglucan degradation (hemicellulose degradation)
M3	Pectin degradation
M4	Degradation of glycan compounds
M5	Structural components of the cellulosome-based degradation paradigm (dockerin and cohesin)

^aWe characterized each module based on the set of protein families contained within it.
^bAdditional file 1 shows each consensus module as a list of Pfam/CAZy terms (Tables S1A-5A).
