Pathway of Glycine Betaine Biosynthesis in Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
Eukaryotic Cell, 2013 ABSTRACTThe choline oxidase (CHOA) and betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH) genes identified inAspergillus fumigatusare present as a cluster specific for fungal genomes. Biochemical and molecular analyses of this cluster showed that it has very specific biochemical and functional features that make it unique and different from its plant and bacterial ...

Proline and Glycine Betaine Influence Protein Solvation [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1984 Glutamine synthetase from barley (Hordeum distichum L.) is precipitated by polyethylene glycol (PEG). Proline, in a concentration-dependent manner, reduces the amount of enzyme precipitated by PEG, although the effect of the imino acid can be counteracted by raising the level of PEG.

Glycine betaine uptake and metabolism in marine microbial communities
Environmental Microbiology, 2022 Summary Glycine betaine (GBT) is a compatible solute in high concentrations in marine microorganisms. As a component of labile organic matter, GBT has complex biochemical potential as a substrate for microbial use that is unconstrained in the environment. Here we determine the uptake kinetics and metabolic fate of
