Molecular cloning of a novel <it>bioH</it> gene from an environmental metagenome encoding a carboxylesterase with exceptional tolerance to organic solvents
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>BioH is one of the key enzymes to produce the precursor pimeloyl-ACP to initiate biotin biosynthesis <it>de novo</it> in bacteria. To date, very few <it>bioH</it> genes have been characterized. In this study,...
