“…Perhaps, cellulases broaden the niches of Labyrinthulomycetes and provide them with a powerful tool for competition. Furthermore, marine cellulase extracts have wide industrial and biotechnological applications, such as in the pharmaceutical industries, food, fuel, agriculture, and single-cell protein and as probiotics in aquaculture ( 55 , 56 ). Our findings suggest that Labyrinthulomycetes can be an alternative microbial source of cellulases for industrial and biotechnological applications.…”
