The genes and enzymes of phosphonate metabolism by bacteria, and their distribution in the marine environment [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Phosphonates are compounds that contain the chemically-stable carbon-phosphorus (C-P) bond. They are widely distributed amongst more primitive life forms including many marine invertebrates and constitute a significant component of the Dissolved Organic

Bacterial Conversion of Hydroxylamino Aromatic Compounds by both Lyase and Mutase Enzymes Involves Intramolecular Transfer of Hydroxyl Groups [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2003 ABSTRACT Hydroxylamino aromatic compounds are converted to either the corresponding aminophenols or protocatechuate during the bacterial degradation of nitroaromatic compounds. The origin of the hydroxyl group of the products could be the substrate itself (intramolecular transfer mechanism) or the solvent water (intermolecular ...

Developing unnatural functions and optimizing catalytic properties of enzymes are challenging tasks that require extensive engineering and screening of biocatalysts. In this study, we report the first example of enantiocomplementary intramolecular crossed aldehyde-ketone benzoin cyclizations catalyzed by benzaldehyde lyase.
