Abstract excerpt
Discovering sugar metabolism genes is of great interest for lignocellulosic biorefinery. Xylose isomerases (XIs) were commonly screened from metagenomes derived from bovine rumen, soil, and other sources. However, so far, XIs and other sugar-utilizing enzymes have not been discovered from fecal metagenomes. In this study, environmental DNA from the fecal samples collected from yellow cattle (Bos taurus) was...
