A functional metagenomic approach for expanding the synthetic biology toolbox for biomass conversion

Sustainable biofuel alternatives to fossil fuel energy are hampered by recalcitrance and toxicity of biomass substrates to microbial biocatalysts. To address this issue, we present a culture‐independent functional metagenomic platform for mining Nature's vast enzymatic reservoir and show its re...
