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

Environmental Microbiology
Sphagnum moss, typical of northern peatlands, produces a range of volatile organic compounds, principally the climate‐active compound, isoprene, which serves as a carbon source for specialist isoprene‐consuming microbes. Using an inhibitor of microbial isoprene uptake, we quantify gross isoprene production by the moss and show that the vast majority of

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.

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,

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Homoterpene Biosynthesis in Fungi. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
The first homoterpene biosynthetic pathway in the fungal kingdom is reported. A methyltransferase–terpene cyclase pair produces a unique heptamethyl bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane homoterpene via presodorifen, demonstrating that homoterpene biosynthesis via the addition of a C1 unit to terpene diphosphate precursors prior to scaffold formation extends beyond the

A New Era for Using Natural Pigments: The Case of the C₅₀ Carotenoid Called Bacterioruberin. [PDF]

Biotechnol Appl Biochem
ABSTRACT Haloarchaea are extremophilic microorganisms belonging to the Archaea domain that require high salt concentrations to live, thus inhabiting ecosystems like salty ponds, salty marshes, or extremely salty lagoons. They are more abundant and widely distributed worldwide than initially expected.

Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity of Soluble Di-Iron Monooxygenases. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Relationships between monooxygenase substrates and products with respect to host cell physiology and biotechnology applications. ABSTRACT Monooxygenase (MO) enzymes are responsible for the oxidation of hydrocarbons and other compounds in the carbon and nitrogen cycles, are important for the biodegradation of pollutants and can act as biocatalysts for ...

Gromomycins: An Unprecedented Class of Triterpene Antibiotics Produced by a Novel Biosynthetic Pathway. [PDF]

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl
Gromomycins represent a novel class of pentacyclic triterpene antibiotics with a unique biosynthetic pathway independent of the squalene route. These compounds exhibit potent activity against drug‐resistant Gram‐positive pathogens, including MRSA, and their unprecedented cyclization mechanism provides new insight into bacterial triterpene biosynthesis.
