In Planta Recapitulation of Isoprene Synthase Evolution from Ocimene Synthases [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2017
Isoprene is the most abundant biogenic volatile hydrocarbon compound naturally emitted by plants and plays a major role in atmospheric chemistry. It has been proposed that isoprene synthases (IspS) may readily evolve from other terpene synthases, but this hypothesis has not been experimentally investigated.

Genome Mining Reveals Pathways for Terpene Production in Aerobic Endospore-Forming Bacteria Isolated from Brazilian Soils [PDF]

Microorganisms
Terpenes are the largest category of specialised metabolites. Aerobic endospore-forming bacteria (AEFB), a diverse group of microorganisms, can thrive in various habitats and produce specialised metabolites, including terpenes.

Molecular studies on Isoprene Production from Natural and Recombinant Bacteria [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2017
The natural volatile hydrocarbon isoprene (2-methyl-l, 3-butadiene) is an essential chemical for polymers, drugs and rubber industry. It is produced naturally by animals, plants and bacteria. The isoprene synthase gene was identified in plants.

Geranyl Diphosphate Synthase (CrtE) Inhibition Using Alendronate Enhances Isoprene Production in Recombinant Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973: A Step towards Isoprene Biorefinery

Fermentation, 2023
A hemiterpene, isoprene, is commercially produced from crude oil refining processes. As a result of fossil fuel depletion, isoprene production process development is gaining attention from recombinant cyanobacteria and other microbial systems for its ...

Origin of breath isoprene in humans is revealed via multi-omic investigations

Communications Biology, 2023
Plants, animals and humans metabolically produce volatile isoprene (C5H8). Humans continuously exhale isoprene and exhaled concentrations differ under various physio-metabolic and pathophysiological conditions.

Non-enzymatic formation of isoprene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (2-MBO) by manganese

Scientific Reports, 2022
It has been suggested that isoprene synthesis by isoprene synthase (IspS) proceeds via a substrate-assisted mechanism. The authors observed a non-enzymatic isoprene formation by Mn2+, which represents the basis of IspS enzyme reaction.

Evidence of Bi-Directional Volatile-Mediated Communication between Drought-Stressed and Well-Watered Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.)

Agronomy, 2023
The volatile-mediated interplay between stressed and non-stressed plants has been described in many studies involving both biotic and abiotic stresses as a one-way channel.

Evolution of isoprene emission in Arecaceae (palms)

Evolutionary Applications, 2021
Isoprene synthase (IspS) is the sole enzyme in plants responsible for the yearly emission in the atmosphere of thousands of tonnes of the natural hydrocarbon isoprene worldwide.

Construction of an artificial consortium of Escherichia coli and cyanobacteria for clean indirect production of volatile platform hydrocarbons from CO2

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Ethylene and isoprene are essential platform chemicals necessary to produce polymers and materials. However, their current production methods based on fossil fuels are not very efficient and result in significant environmental pollution. For a successful
