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 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 ...

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
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

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
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
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
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 ...

Riboswitch regulation of methionine metabolism and vitamin B12 uptake in mycobacteria – implications for drug susceptibility and pathogenesis [PDF]
Alterations in the genetic capacity for cobamide biosynthesis have been identified as potentially critical in the evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a putative environmental ancestor.
