Combined metagenomic and phenomic approaches identify a novel salt tolerance gene from the human gut microbiome

In the current study, a number of salt-tolerant clones previously isolated from a human gut metagenomic library were screened using Phenotype MicroArray (PM) technology to assess their functional capacity. One clone, SMG 9, was found to be positive for utilisation/transport of L-carnitine (a well-ch...
