Non‐Canonical C16 Homoterpene Biosynthesis Widespread in Actinobacteria
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 64, Issue 5, January 27, 2025.The first biosynthetic pathway to C16 homoterpenes in actinobacteria is reported. A novel methyltransferase family mediates methylation and double bond isomerization to produce a modified C16 precursor. Subsequent conversion by a distinct terpene cyclase family yields unprecedented homoterpenes. The findings enable the development of novel biocatalytic

Antarctic Geothermal Soils Exhibit an Absence of Regional Habitat Generalist Microorganisms
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2025.Antarctic geothermal sites are highly isolated islands of warmth and moisture. We studied the community structure, predicted functions and ecology of the microorganisms inhabiting these sites, with the finding that high dispersal rates have resulted in an absence of regional habitat generalists between these sites.

Genome‐wide association study of carotenoids in maize kernel
The Plant Genome, Volume 17, Issue 3, September 2024.Plain Language Summary In this study, the contents of four carotenoids in 244 maize inbred lines were detected and about three million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for genome‐wide association study to preliminarily analyze the genetic mechanism of maize kernel carotenoids.

Strategies of plants to overcome abiotic and biotic stresses
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1524-1536, August 2024.ABSTRACT In their environment, plants are exposed to a multitude of abiotic and biotic stresses that differ in intensity, duration and severity. As sessile organisms, they cannot escape these stresses, but instead have developed strategies to overcome them or to compensate for the consequences of stress exposure.

Molecular ecology of marine isoprene degradation
, 2014 Isoprene is an atmospheric trace gas whose emissions to the atmosphere are roughly equal to that of methane. It is highly reactive and has the potential to affect climate through a variety of interactions in the atmosphere, including the formation of ...

Bacterial Degradation of Isoprene in the Terrestrial Environment
, 2014 Isoprene is a climate active gas emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources in quantities equivalent to the global methane flux to the atmosphere. 90 % of the emitted isoprene is produced enzymatically in the chloroplast of terrestrial plants from ...

On the Enigma of Glutathione-Dependent Styrene Degradation in Gordonia rubripertincta CWB2
, 2018 Among bacteria, only a single styrene-specific degradation pathway has been reported so far. It comprises the activity of styrene monooxygenase, styrene oxide isomerase, and phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase, yielding phenylacetic acid as the central ...
