Co‐Reactivity of Fragrances and Fragrance‐Markers in Patients With Positive Patch Tests to Chinese and Brazilian Propolis

open access: yesContact Dermatitis, EarlyView.
In this study, the patterns of co‐reactivity to the four fragrance markers present in the European baseline series (Myroxylon pereirae resin [balsam of Peru], colophonium, fragrance mixes 1 and 2) and to the fragrances limonene and linalool hydroperoxides in patients allergic to Brazilian propolis were investigated.

Expanding the substrate scope of a bacterial monoterpene synthase for the production of sesquiterpenoid and diterpenoid products

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We have converted the only known true bacterial monoterpene synthase, cineole synthase from Streptomyces clavuligerus (bCinS, C10 substrate), to a highly competent sesquiterpene synthase (C15) with a minimum number of rational mutations. By comparison with diterpene synthases (C20), we were then able to bestow diterpene synthase activity on bCinS. This

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.
