Whole-cell studies of substrate and inhibitor specificity of isoprene monooxygenase and related enzymes. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep, 2023
Abstract Co‐oxidation of a range of alkenes, dienes, and aromatic compounds by whole cells of the isoprene‐degrading bacterium Rhodococcus sp. AD45 expressing isoprene monooxygenase was investigated, revealing a relatively broad substrate specificity for this soluble diiron ...

Purification and Characterization of the Isoprene Monooxygenase from Rhodococcus sp. Strain AD45. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2022
Isoprene is a highly abundant climate-active gas and a carbon source for some bacteria. Analyses of the genes encoding isoprene monooxygenase (IsoMO) indicate this enzyme is a soluble diiron center monooxygenase in the same family of oxygenases as soluble methane monooxygenase, alkene monooxygenase, and toluene monooxygenase.

Isoprene Production by Sphagnum Moss Is Balanced by Microbial Uptake, as Revealed by Selective Inhibitors. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Northern peatlands, ecosystems which store enormous amounts of carbon, and yet are major sources of methane and plant‐derived volatiles including isoprene, are predicted to be greatly affected by climate change.

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

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.

Analysis of Essential Isoprene Metabolic Pathway Proteins in Variovorax sp. Strain WS11. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023
Isoprene is a climate-active gas, largely produced by trees, which is released from the biosphere in amounts equivalent to those of methane and all other volatile organic compounds combined. Bacteria found in many environments, including soils and on the

Genome sequencing andin silicoanalysis of isoprene degrading monooxygenase enzymes ofSphingobiumsp. BHU LFT2

Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics, 2022
The whole genome sequencing of a novel isoprene degrading strain of Sphingobium sp. BHU LFT2, its in silico analysis for identifying and characterizing enzymes, especially isoprene monooxygenases (IsoMO), which initiate the degradation process, and in vitro validation with cell extract of optimal temperature and pH and analysis for utilizing isoprene ...
