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

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 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.

Structural and evolutionary insights into the isoprene monooxygenases [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Ecology
Abstract Isoprene, a highly reactive biogenic volatile organic compound emitted by terrestrial vegetation, influences atmospheric chemistry but its microbial degradation remains poorly understood. Aerobic degradation begins with isoprene monooxygenase (IsoMO), a multicomponent di-iron monooxygenase encoded by the isoABCDEF cluster ...

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

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.

Isoprene Oxidation by the Gram-Negative Model bacterium Variovorax sp. WS11 [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2020
Plant-produced isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) represents a significant portion of global volatile organic compound production, equaled only by methane.

Purification and Characterisation of Isoprene Monooxygenase from Rhodococcus sp. AD45 [PDF]

, 2020
Isoprene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) produced by many plants. Isoprene emissions account for one third of total VOCs from biogenic and anthropogenic sources, equal to that of methane. Atmospheric isoprene affects retention of greenhouse gases, air quality and climate.

Actinobacterial Degradation of 2-Hydroxyisobutyric Acid Proceeds via Acetone and Formyl-CoA by Employing a Thiamine-Dependent Lyase Reaction [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The tertiary branched short-chain 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid (2-HIBA) has been associated with several metabolic diseases and lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation seems to be a common eukaryotic as well as prokaryotic post-translational modification in proteins.

Sphingopyxis sp. Strain OPL5, an Isoprene-Degrading Bacterium from the Sphingomonadaceae Family Isolated from Oil Palm Leaves

Microorganisms, 2020
The volatile secondary metabolite, isoprene, is released by trees to the atmosphere in enormous quantities, where it has important effects on air quality and climate.
