The genome of the organism was sequenced and genes conferring putative lipolytic activity were amplified and cloned into <i>Escherichia</i> <i>coli</i> as a heterologous host. Through function-based screening, esterase and lipase activity was detected. A recombinant enzyme designated EstN2 was successfully expressed, purified and crystallized. The crystals belonged to space group <i>I</i>2, with one molecule per asymmetric unit, and diffracted X-rays to 1.5 Å resolution. %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000343060200018 %$ pmid:25286947 %R 10.1107/S2053230X14018482 %U https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/207419
