Isolation of xylose isomerases by sequence- and function-based screening from a soil metagenomic library
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Xylose isomerase (XI) catalyses the isomerisation of xylose to xylulose in bacteria and some fungi. Currently, only a limited number of XI genes have been functionally expressed in <it>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</it>, the m...
