6FKX - PubMed Abstract: 
A hot desert hypolith metagenomic DNA sequence data set was screened in silico for genes annotated as acetyl xylan esterases (AcXEs). One of the genes identified encoded an ∼36-kDa protein (Axe1 NaM1 ). The synthesized gene was cloned and expressed, and the resulting protein was purified ...
