Mining of novel thermo-stable cellulolytic genes from a thermophilic cellulose-degrading consortium by metagenomics.

In this study, metagenomics was applied to characterize the microbial community and to discover carbohydrate-active genes of an enriched thermophilic cellulose-degrading sludge. The 16S analysis showed that the sludge microbiome was dominated by genus of cellulolytic Clostridium and methanogenesis M...
