Identification and characterization of PldB domain-containing esterase from a freshwater pond metagenome

Esterases, a class of α/β-hydrolases, are crucial enzymes used for the biotransformation of industrially important biomolecules. Exploring the pond metagenome, a lipolytic clone. (PLR5) was identified that exhibited activity against tributyrin. This clone encodes a unique putativ...
