Mining of camel rumen metagenome to identify novel alkali-thermostable xylanase capable of enhancing the recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass conversion

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize novel alkali-thermostable xylanase genes from the mixed genome DNA of camel rumen metagenome. In this study, a five-stage computational screening procedure was utilized to find the primary candidate enzyme with superior properties from the camel rumen metagenome. This enzyme was subjected to cloning, purification, and structural and functional characterization. It showed high thermal...
