Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]

, 2010
Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.

Genome-scale CRISPRi screening: A powerful tool in engineering microbiology

Engineering Microbiology, 2023
Deciphering gene function is fundamental to engineering of microbiology. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system has been adapted for gene repression across a range of hosts, creating a versatile tool called CRISPR ...

Development of a selection system for the detection of L-ribose isomerase expressing mutants of Escherichia coli [PDF]

, 2007
L-Arabinose isomerase (E.C. 5.3.1.14) catalyzes the reversible isomerization between L-arabinose and L-ribulose and is highly selective towards L-arabinose.

Exploitation of Aspergillus terreus for the Production of Natural Statins

Journal of Fungi, 2016
The fungus Aspergillus (A.) terreus has dominated the biological production of the “blockbuster” drugs known as statins. The statins are a class of drugs that inhibit HMG-CoA reductase and lead to lower cholesterol production.

Combined enhancement of the propionyl-CoA metabolic pathway for efficient androstenedione production in Mycolicibacterium neoaurum

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background The production of androstenedione (AD) from phytosterols by Mycolicibacterium neoaurum is a multi-step biotransformation process, which requires degradation of sterol side chains, accompanied by the production of propionyl-CoA.

Variants of a putative baseplate wedge protein extend the host range of Pseudomonas phage K8

Microbiome, 2023
Background Narrow host range is a major limitation for phage applications, but phages can evolve expanded host range through adaptations in the receptor-binding proteins. Results Here, we report that Pseudomonas phage K8 can evolve broader host range and
