Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021 Broccoli sprouts are a convenient and rich source of the glucosinolate glucoraphanin, which can generate the chemopreventive agent sulforaphane through the catalytic actions of plant myrosinase or β-thioglucosidases in the gut microflora.

Differential Expression of Myrosinase Gene Families [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 In mature seeds of Brassica napus three major and three minor myrosinase isoenzymes were identified earlier. These myrosinases are known to be encoded by at least two different families of myrosinase genes, denoted MA and MB. In the work described in this paper the presence of different myrosinase isoenzymes in embryos, seedlings, and vegetative mature

Optimisation of Recombinant Myrosinase Production in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Myrosinase is a plant defence enzyme catalysing the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a group of plant secondary metabolites, to a range of volatile compounds. One of the products, isothiocyanates, proved to have neuroprotective and chemo-preventive properties, making myrosinase a pharmaceutically interesting enzyme.

Isolation of Myrosinase Producing Microorganism [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1974 Screening tests were undertaken to obtain microorganisms which produce myrosinase. One strain of microorganism indicated a strong capasity for producing myrosinase. The morphological and physiological characteristics of this strain were studied. The organism was identified as Enterobacter cloacae, no.

The Cell Differentiation of Idioblast Myrosin Cells: Similarities With Vascular and Guard Cells
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Idioblasts are defined by abnormal shapes, sizes, and contents that are different from neighboring cells. Myrosin cells are Brassicales-specific idioblasts and accumulate a large amount of thioglucoside glucohydrolases (TGGs, also known as myrosinases ...
