Developing a <italic toggle="yes">Bacteroides</italic> System for Function-Based Screening of DNA from the Human Gut Microbiome

ABSTRACT Functional metagenomics is a powerful method that allows the isolation of genes whose role may not have been predicted from DNA sequence. In this approach, first, environmental DNA is cloned to generate metagenomic libraries that are maintained in Escherichia coli, and second, the cloned DN...
