Bioprospecting metagenomics of decaying wood: mining for new glycoside hydrolases

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>To efficiently deconstruct recalcitrant plant biomass to fermentable sugars in industrial processes, biocatalysts of higher performance and lower cost are required. The genetic diversity found in the metagenomes of natural microbial...
