Route dissolved organic matter (DOM) / glycan substrate capacity, biosurfactant production, and hydrocarbon/plastic biodegradation annotation for shotgun metagenomics. Covers “like-dissolves-like” solubility-related microbial functions: CAZyme–glycan (dbCAN), biosurfactants + HC degradation (HADEG, BioSurfDB), and related BGC context (antiSMASH). Child skills: hadeg, biosurfdb; also dbcan, antismash, dram. Route via microbial-mining.
