A Droplet Microfluidics Based Platform for Mining Metagenomic Libraries for Natural Compounds

Historically, microbes from the environment have been a reliable source for novel bio-active compounds. Cloning and expression of metagenomic DNA in heterologous strains of bacteria has broadened the range of potential compounds accessible. However, such metagenomic libraries have been under-exploit...
