A Novel Type of Fluorescent Chlorophyll Catabolites Hypermodified by Lipophilic Chloroplast Membrane Components

open access: yesHelvetica Chimica Acta, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.
Breakdown of chlorophyll (Chl) is a fundamental biological phenomenon. In de‐greening banana leaves, Chl is transformed into colorless “fluorescent” Chl‐catabolites (FCCs) that cause the leaves to luminesce blue. Hypothesis‐driven search for apolar banana‐FCCs, and structure elucidation, have revealed a striking first link between lipid metabolism and ...

Coacervate Formation Behavior and Lubrication Properties of a Hair Shampoo Formulated With Amino Acid Surfactants and Cationized Cellulose

open access: yesJournal of Surfactants and Detergents, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 127-135, January 2026.
Coacervate formation behavior of sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate in a hair shampoo formulation. ABSTRACT Coacervates are ion complexes that enhance the lubrication of hair surfaces during hair washing. In this study, hair shampoos containing typical amino acid surfactants, including sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, were prepared to ...

B12‐Cofactor Inactivation by Cobalt to Rhodium Mutation in Methylrhodibalamin: An Antivitamin B12 and Antibiotic

open access: yesChemistryEurope, Volume 3, Issue 6, November 11, 2025.
Replacement of cobalt in the organometallic B12‐cofactor methylcobalamin (MeCbl) by rhodium furnishes a structural mimic with a significantly stronger metal–carbon bond. This synthetically challenging formal metal‐mutation converts the naturally optimized biological methyl‐transfer catalyst MeCbl into a designed antivitamin B12, an inactivated B12 ...

Regiospecific Formation of Cobamide Isomers Is Directed by CobT

open access: yes, 2016
Cobamides, which include vitamin B12 (cobalamin), are a class of modified tetrapyrroles synthesized exclusively by prokaryotes that function as cofactors for diverse biological processes. Cobamides contain a centrally bound cobalt ion that coordinates to

Microbial Conversion of Glycerol Into 1,3‐Propanediol by Fermentation: Review of Fundamentals and Operational Strategies

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
This review highlights recent advances in microbial fermentation strategies for converting glycerol, a biodiesel by‐product, into 1,3‐propanediol. It discusses metabolic pathways, microbial inocula and key operational parameters to optimise production, supporting sustainable chemical synthesis aligned with circular economy principles. ABSTRACT Over the

Emission‐based sensing of cobalt (II) and vitamin B12 via a bis‐indole derivative

open access: yesLuminescence, Volume 39, Issue 8, August 2024.
In this study, a newly synthesized bis‐indole derivative has been successfully used in the analysis of both ionic cobalt and vitamin B12. The fluorescent bis‐indole ligand surrounds cobalt ions and acts similarly to the corrin ring in the structure of vitamin B12 in nature.

Sharing vitamins: Cobamides unveil microbial interactions

open access: yesScience, 2020
Nutritional interdependencies Bacteria and archaea show a wide range of nutritional specialism. Not every organism can synthesize essential components and may need to trade for them. Taking as an example a diverse and interesting family of enzyme cofactors—the cobalt-containing cobamides, which include vitamin B 12

Burning question: Rethinking organohalide degradation strategy for bioremediation applications

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2024.
This review specifically focuses on the novel solution of organohalide bioremediation, proposing redox‐potential‐mediated hybrid bioprocesses tailored to the complexities of organohalide pollution. Abstract Organohalides are widespread pollutants that pose significant environmental hazards due to their high degree of halogenation and elevated redox ...
