Functional Metagenomics Reveals a New Catalytic Domain, the Metallo-β-Lactamase Superfamily Domain, Associated with Phytase Activity
Phytic acid is a phosphorus storage molecule in many plant tissues, a source of phosphorus alternative to phosphate rocks, but it can also be a problematic antinutrient. In comparison to other phosphorus sources, phytic acid exhibits reduced bioavailability. Additionally, it influences functions of...
