Abstract
Polysaccharide utilisation loci (PUL) are regions within bacterial genomes that encode all the necessary machinery for the cleavage of particular carbohydrates. For the Bacteroidetes phylum, prediction of PUL from genomic data alone involves the identification of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) co-localised with susCD gene pairs. Here we present the open prediction of PUL in 5414 public Bacteroidetes genomes, and an open-source pipeline to reproduce or extend the results.
