Investigating the biosynthesis of heam d1 in pseudomonas aeruginosa: a cofactor for dissimilatory nitrite reductase. [PDF]
PhDHaem d1 is a modified tetrapyrrole unique to the periplasmic enzyme nitrite reductase where it acts in catalysing the reduction of nitrite (NO2 -) to nitric oxide (NO), as part of denitrification.

Identification of target genes of the bZIP transcription factor OsTGAP1, whose overexpression causes elicitor-induced hyperaccumulation of diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice cells. [PDF]
Phytoalexins are specialised antimicrobial metabolites that are produced by plants in response to pathogen attack. Momilactones and phytocassanes are the major diterpenoid phytoalexins in rice and are synthesised from geranylgeranyl diphosphate, which is

A Candidate Gene Cluster for the Bioactive Natural Product Gyrophoric Acid in Lichen-Forming Fungi
Natural products of lichen-forming fungi are structurally diverse and have a variety of medicinal properties. Despite this, they have limited implementation in industry mostly because the corresponding genes are unknown for most of their natural products.

Whole-genome sequence analysis of penitrem A-producing Penicillium crustosum isolated from pears: secondary metabolite biosynthesis [PDF]
Background Penitrem A is a toxic secondary metabolite (SM) produced by Penicillium crustosum (P. crustosum) on various foods such as nuts, dairy products, and fruits. However, the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for SMs including penitrem A
