This study aimed to isolate and characterize a novel cellulolytic enzyme from black goat rumen by using a culture-independent approach. A metagenomic fosmid library was constructed from black goat rumen contents and screened for a novel cellulase. The KG37 gene encoding a protein of 858 amino acid residues (92.7 kDa) was isolated. The deduced protein contained a glycosyl hydrolase family 74 (GH74)...
