Gromomycins: An Unprecedented Class of Triterpene Antibiotics Produced by a Novel Biosynthetic Pathway. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglGromomycins 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.

Peering down the sink: A review of isoprene metabolism by bacteria.
Environmental Microbiology, 2022 Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is emitted to the atmosphere each year in sufficient quantities to rival methane (>500 Tg C yr-1 ), primarily due to emission by trees and other plants.

Impact of steroid biosynthesis on the aerobic adaptation of eukaryotes. [PDF]
GeobiologyAbstract Steroids are indispensable components of the eukaryotic cellular membrane and the acquisition of steroid biosynthesis was a key factor that enabled the evolution of eukaryotes. The polycyclic carbon structures of steroids can be preserved in sedimentary rocks as chemical fossils for billions of years and thus provide invaluable clues to trace ...

Anaerobic Limonene Metabolism in a Methanogenic Enrichment Involves a Glycine Radical Enzyme. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolA methanogenic enrichment culture on the natural monoterpene limonene is characterised by a novel glycine radical enzyme for anaerobic hydrocarbon activation, the presence of a microbial loop for necromass utilisation and the presence of a predator of Bacteria and Archaea. ABSTRACT Limonene is a natural monoterpene omnipresent in human environments. It
