Metabolic Engineering Kluyveromyces marxianus for Isoprene Production from Eucalyptus globulus Wood Cellulosic Fraction [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Isoprene, a highly volatile hydrocarbon with numerous industrial applications, has traditionally been produced from petrochemical sources through processes associated with significant environmental impacts. Microbial production of isoprene has emerged as

Anaerobic Biohydrogenation of Isoprene by Acetobacterium wieringae Strain Y

mBio, 2022
Isoprene is a ubiquitously distributed, biogenic, and climate-active organic compound. Microbial isoprene degradation in oxic environments is fairly well understood; however, studies exploring anaerobic isoprene metabolism remain scarce, with no isolates

Evidence for a Putative Isoprene Reductase in Acetobacterium wieringae

mSystems, 2023
Recent discoveries of isoprene-metabolizing microorganisms suggest they might play an important role in the global isoprene budget. Under anoxic conditions, isoprene can be used as an electron acceptor and is reduced to methylbutene. This study describes

Non-enzymatic formation of isoprene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (2-MBO) by manganese

Scientific Reports, 2022
It has been suggested that isoprene synthesis by isoprene synthase (IspS) proceeds via a substrate-assisted mechanism. The authors observed a non-enzymatic isoprene formation by Mn2+, which represents the basis of IspS enzyme reaction.

Origin of breath isoprene in humans is revealed via multi-omic investigations

Communications Biology, 2023
Plants, animals and humans metabolically produce volatile isoprene (C5H8). Humans continuously exhale isoprene and exhaled concentrations differ under various physio-metabolic and pathophysiological conditions.

Isoprene-degrading bacteria associated with the phyllosphere of Salix fragilis, a high isoprene-emitting willow of the Northern Hemisphere

Environmental Microbiome, 2021
Background Isoprene accounts for about half of total biogenic volatile organic compound emissions globally, and as a climate active gas it plays a significant and varied role in atmospheric chemistry. Terrestrial plants are the largest source of isoprene,

Isoprene in poplar emissions: effects on new particle formation and OH concentrations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2012
Stress-induced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from transgenic Grey poplar modified in isoprene emission potential were used for the investigation of photochemical secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. In poplar, acute ozone stress induces

"Identification method of natural rubber, isoprene rubber and natural rubber/isoprene rubber blend"

Hecheng xiangjiao gongye, 2023
Six kinds of natural rubbers and two kinds of isoprene rubbers were extracted with acetone as the solvent, and the selection of the internal standard for quantitative analysis of raw rubbers of natural rubber and isoprene rubber and vulcanizates of ...

Characterization of promoter elements of isoprene‐responsive genes and the ability of isoprene to bind START domain transcription factors

Plant Direct, 2023
Isoprene has recently been proposed to be a signaling molecule that can enhance tolerance of both biotic and abiotic stress. Not all plants make isoprene, but all plants tested to date respond to isoprene.

Novel Isoprene-Degrading Proteobacteria From Soil and Leaves Identified by Cultivation and Metagenomics Analysis of Stable Isotope Probing Experiments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Isoprene is a climate-active gas and one of the most abundant biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) released into the atmosphere. In the terrestrial environment, plants are the primary producers of isoprene, releasing between 500 and 750 million ...
