Mix‐to‐Prepare Dicarboxylic Acid‐Based Decoy Molecules Enable Wild‐Type P450BM3‐Catalyzed Oxidation of Non‐Native Substrates

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 9, 14 May 2026.
Amic acid‐based decoy molecules were developed by simple mixing of acid anhydrides and amines. The newly identified phthalic acid‐based decoy molecules enabled whole‐cell benzene hydroxylation by cytochrome P450BM3, achieving phenol production about 3 mM, without the need for prior complex chemical synthesis and purification of the decoy molecules ...

Salicylic Acid Delays Grape Softening by Regulating Cell Wall, Cuticular Wax, and Phenylpropanoid Metabolism

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study investigated the effects of salicylic acid (SA) application on the softening of grapes (Vitis vinifera L. ‘Red Globe’) during cold storage. The results demonstrated that SA treatment effectively delayed softening by regulating cell wall, cuticular wax, and phenylpropanoid metabolism.

Understanding plant-microbe interactions for phytoremediation of petroleum-polluted soil.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Plant-microbe interactions are considered to be important processes determining the efficiency of phytoremediation of petroleum pollution, however relatively little is known about how these interactions are influenced by petroleum pollution.

Unlocking the Quality Potential of Liberoid Coffee: Advances in Composition, Processing, and Microbial Fermentation

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Liberoid coffee (Coffea liberica group), comprising varieties of Liberica and Excelsa coffee types, is gaining attention for its unique chemical composition and sensory potential. However, its quality remains under‐optimized due to limited understanding of genotype‐specific traits and processing responses.

Versatile roles of rubredoxin reductase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa TBCF10839 in virulence and stress protection.

PLoS Pathogens
Many microorganisms can degrade alkanes, using them as carbon source. The first and key step in alkane utilization is its hydroxylation, which requires a catalytic membrane-bound monooxygenase, a soluble rubredoxin and a soluble rubredoxin reductase.

Insights into the Genomic Architecture and Improvement of the Capabilities of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus for the Biodegradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons

Microorganisms
Petroleum-contaminated terrestrial ecosystems require effective bioremediation strategies. In this study, genomic analysis revealed key biodegradation genes on the Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 21# chromosome: alkane hydroxylases (alkB, almA, LadA) and ...

Direct effects of organic pollutants on the growth and gene expression of the Baltic Sea model bacterium Rheinheimera sp. BAL341

Microbial Biotechnology, 2019
Summary Organic pollutants (OPs) are critically toxic, bioaccumulative and globally widespread. Moreover, several OPs negatively influence aquatic wildlife. Although bacteria are major drivers of the ocean carbon cycle and the turnover of vital elements,
