The Genomes of Not Yet Cultured Microbes as Resources for Novel Genes 

Functional screening of a soil metagenomic library for cellulases revealed a total of eight cellulolytic clones, one of which was purified and characterized [58]. Despite the fact that this library had been generated from a soil sample collected from a 

Chitinases are responsible for the breakdo vn and recycling of chitin. With several gigatons of chitin being produced annually, it is the second most abundant polymer 

The identified enzymes need to be characterized on a more detailed level before application in biotechnological processes.
