Metagenomics and industrial applications

Abstract: Different industries have different motivations to probe the enormous resource that is uncultivated microbial diversity. Currently, there is a global political drive to promote white (industrial) biotechnology as a central feature of the sustainable economic future of modern industrialized societies. This requires the development of novel enzymes, processes, products and applications. Metagenomics promises to provide new molecules with diverse functions, but ultimately, expression systems are required for any … Show more

“…A busca pelo "biocatalisador ideal", que é definido como aquela enzima que se enquadra, idealmente, em um processo otimizado, requer a definição das variáveis de processo e, portanto, de um conjunto de parâmetros relacionados à enzima [35,36].…”

“…The techniques of metagenomics can be used to either identify putative enzyme genes in large environmental metagenome data sets using sequence-based homology searches or by identification of functional expression of genes without prior sequence knowledge: both have potential for the discovery of a wide range of novel biomolecules [109,110].…”

“…Activity-based screening, also referred to as functional metagenomics, involves functional detection, typically by enzyme assay, of genes expressing from metagenomic DNA fragments cloned into a suitable expression vector system [109,115]. AcXEs have been identified using functional screening of metagenomic libraries from a bovine metagenome [12].…”

“…The emerging field of Metagenomics comprises the collection and analysis of large amounts of DNA that is contained in an environmental niche [1]. Due to the recent advances in high-throughput sequencing, very large amounts of nucleotide sequences can be generated in short time.…”
