Protein engineering strategies for microbial production of isoprenoids
Isoprenoids comprise one of the most chemically diverse family of natural products with high commercial interest. The structural diversity of isoprenoids is mainly due to the modular activity of three distinct classes of enzymes, including prenyl ...

Metabolic Remodeling during Nitrogen Fixation in Zymomonas mobilis
Zymomonas mobilis is an ethanologenic bacterium currently being developed for production of advanced biofuels. Recent studies have shown that Z. mobilis can fix dinitrogen gas (N2) as a sole nitrogen source. During N2 fixation, Z.

Change of isoprenoids, steranes and terpanes during ex situ bioremediation of mazut on industrial level [PDF]
The paper presents results of the ex situ bioremediation of soil contaminated by mazut (heavy residual fuel oil) in the field scale (600 m3). A treatment-bed (thickness 0.4 m) consisted of mechanically mixed mazut-contaminated soil, softwood sawdust as ...

Leaf volatile isoprenoids: an important defensive armament in forest tree species
Current knowledge on the ecological impact of the emission of volatile isoprenoids by plants is reviewed. This trait is common to many terrestrial species but is scattered across different taxonomic groups; it appears to be related to other ecological ...

The biosynthesis and regulation of isoprenoids
Isoprenoids constitute a chemically diverse family of naturally occurring compounds with a common structural five-carbon unit, the isoprene. This review presents the biosynthetic pathway of isoprenoids and the primary enzymes incolued.

Fluorescence‐based visualization and targeted mass–spectrometric enrichment of membrane‐embedded isoprenoids in Bacillus subtilis via cell‐permeant, alkynylated DMAPP analogs. ABSTRACT Isoprenoids are a chemically and functionally diverse class of metabolites that underlie essential bacterial physiology including respiration and cell envelope ...
