Mining Novel Constitutive Promoter Elements in Soil Metagenomic Libraries in Escherichia coli

Although functional metagenomics has been widely employed for the discovery of genes relevant to biotechnology and biomedicine, its potential for assessing the diversity of transcriptional regulatory elements of microbial communities has remained poorly explored. Here, we experimentally mined novel...
