Functional screening of hydrolytic activities reveals an extremely thermostable cellulase from a deep-sea archaeon

Extreme habitats serve as a source of enzymes which are active under extreme conditions and are candidates for industrial applications. In this work, six large-insert mixed genomic libraries were screened for hydrolase activities in a broad temperature range (8 to 70 °C). Among a variety of hydrolyt...
