Complete Genome of Isoprene Degrading Nocardioides sp. WS12 [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Isoprene is a climate-active gas whose wide-spread global production stems mostly from terrestrial plant emissions. The biodegradation of isoprene is carried out by a number of different bacteria from a wide range of environments. This study investigates

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

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

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,

Diversity of isoprene-degrading bacteria in phyllosphere and soil communities from a high isoprene-emitting environment: a Malaysian oil palm plantation [PDF]

Microbiome, 2020
Background Isoprene is the most abundantly produced biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) on Earth, with annual global emissions almost equal to those of methane.

New insights on poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) rubber degradation through enzymatic kinetics and process improvement [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Latex clearing protein (Lcp) is a crucial enzyme in the oxidative degradation of poly(cis-1,4-isoprene), the main component of natural rubber (NR). Despite significant biochemical advances, to date, the kinetic behavior of Lcp from Streptomyces sp.

Genome Characterisation of an Isoprene-Degrading Alcaligenes sp. Isolated from a Tropical Restored Forest

Biology, 2022
Isoprene is a climate-active biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC), emitted into the atmosphere in abundance, mainly from terrestrial plants. Soil is an important sink for isoprene due to its consumption by microbes.

Highly oxidized products from the atmospheric reaction of hydroxyl radicals with isoprene [PDF]

Nature Communications
Isoprene (C5H8) globally accounts for half of the non-methane hydrocarbon flux into Earth´s atmosphere. Its degradation is mainly initiated by the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals yielding a complex system of RO2 radicals. Subsequent product formation

Observations of speciated isoprene nitrates in Beijing: implications for isoprene chemistry [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021
Isoprene is the most important biogenic volatile organic compound in the atmosphere. Its calculated impact on ozone (O3) is critically dependent on the model isoprene oxidation chemical scheme, in particular the way the isoprene-derived organic nitrates (
