Peering down the sink: a review of isoprene metabolism by bacteria. [PDF]
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.

Molecular and biochemical characterisation of isoprene metabolism by Variovorax sp. WS11 [PDF]
Isoprene is the most abundant non-methane volatile organic compound (VOC), with over 500 Tg C yr-1 produced worldwide. Terrestrial plants, particularly trees, are the main sources of isoprene, and soils are currently the largest known sink for ...

Microbial metabolites in tumor epigenetic regulation
The gut microbiome modulates tumor epigenetic regulation through bioactive metabolites derived from dietary substrates. Microbiota‐produced SCFAs, secondary BAs, one‐carbon metabolites, and tryptophan‐derived ligands regulate histone acetylation, DNA methylation, and chromatin remodeling via HDAC, DNMT, AhR, and metabolic cofactor‐dependent pathways ...

Genetics and Ecology of Isoprene Degradation
Approximately 550 million tonnes of the monoterpene, isoprene, are emitted to the atmosphere annually, principally from terrestrial plants. In contrast to methane, which is emitted in similar quantities, little is known about the biodegradation of ...
