Antibacterial enzymes from the functional screening of metagenomic libraries hosted in<i>Ralstonia metallidurans</i>
25 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
Phenotype-based screening of bacterial metagenomic libraries provides an avenue for the discovery of novel genes, enzymes, and metabolites that have a variety of potential clinical and industrial uses. Here, we report the identification of a functionally diverse collection of antibacterially active enzymes from the phenotypic screening of 700 000 cosmid clones prepared from Arizona soil DNA and hosted in...
