Bacteria and fungi associated with isoprene consumption in soil

Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2015
Isoprene is a reactive volatile organic compound released from the biosphere that can be abundant in the planetary boundary layer, where it can have a myriad of effects on atmospheric chemistry and secondary aerosol formation.

Underground Signals: The Ecological Power of Root Volatiles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Root volatiles mediate rhizosphere chemical communication, shaping interactions among plants, microbes, herbivores, and natural enemies. Their production, transport, and perception underpin ecological adaptation, multitrophic interactions, and plant resilience, offering opportunities for sustainable crop protection, resilient agroecosystems, and ...

Gene probing reveals the widespread distribution, diversity and abundance of isoprene-degrading bacteria in the environment

Microbiome, 2018
Background Approximately 500 Tg of isoprene are emitted to the atmosphere annually, an amount similar to that of methane, and despite its significant effects on the climate, very little is known about the biological degradation of isoprene in the ...

Relationships between photosynthesis and formaldehyde as a probe of isoprene emission [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Atmospheric oxidation of isoprene emission from land plants affects radiative forcing of global climate change. There is an urgent need to understand the factors that control isoprene emission variability on large spatiotemporal scales but such direct ...

Co-Production of Isoprene and Lactate by Engineered Escherichia coli in Microaerobic Conditions

Molecules, 2021
Lactate and isoprene are two common monomers for the industrial production of polyesters and synthetic rubbers. The present study tested the co-production of D-lactate and isoprene by engineered Escherichia coli in microaerobic conditions.

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Biodegradation of isoprene by soil Actinomycetota from coffee-tea integrated plantations in a tropical evergreen forest

Current Research in Microbial Sciences
Isoprene, a biogenic volatile compound emitted largely by plants, can form greenhouse gases when it reacts with atmospheric radicals. A significant amount of isoprene is absorbed into soil and can be degraded by soil microorganisms, but our understanding

Isoprene: An Antioxidant Itself or a Molecule with Multiple Regulatory Functions in Plants?

Antioxidants, 2021
Isoprene (C5H8) is a small lipophilic, volatile organic compound (VOC), synthesized in chloroplasts of plants through the photosynthesis-dependent 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway.
