Metagenomic discovery and functional validation of L-asparaginases with anti-leukemic effect from the Caspian Sea

Summary: By screening 27,000 publicly available prokaryotic genomes, we recovered ca. 6300 type I and ca. 5200 type II putative L-asparaginase highlighting the vast potential of prokaryotes. Caspian water with similar salt composition to the human serum was targeted for in silico L-asparaginase scre...
