Xuanwei Mei is currently a Ph.D. student at the College of Food Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, under the instruction of Prof. Yaoguang Chang. His research focuses on the gene-mining and characterization of carbohydrate-binding modules. So far, he discovered and characterized five CBMs:

• CBM16: ABP_Wf (alginate-binding CBM) [1]
• CBM47: WfCBM47 (sulfated fucan-binding CBM) [2]
• CBM70: SrCBM70 (hyaluronic acid-binding CBM) [3]
• CBM92: Cgk16A-CBM92 (carrageenan-binding CBM; the first member of the CBM92 family) [4]
• CBMnc: Fun174A-CBM (sulfated fucan-binding CBM) [5]
