Evaluating the Evolutionary Origins of Unexpected Character Distributions within the Bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae Superphylum [PDF]
, 2012 Recently, several characters that are absent from most bacteria, but which are found in many eukaryotes or archaea, have been identified within the bacterial Planctomycetes-Verrucomicrobia-Chlamydiae (PVC) superphylum.

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.The artificial biosynthetic pathway potentially involved in biosynthesis of enfumafungin is first reconstructed in an optimized Aspergillus oryzae chassis with the increased site‐specific integration efficiency and shortened time for marker recycling, which requires an artificial fusion enzyme EfuA(TC)FsoA(GT).

Unveiling the catalytical roles of three glycosyltransferases in triterpenoid saponins in quinoa
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 10, Page 4214-4227, October 2025.Summary Saponins constitute a class of characteristic compounds within quinoa grains. In this study, metabolomic analysis identified 20 triterpene saponins, the majority of which were exclusively localized within the pericarp. Furthermore, three crucial glycosyltransferases were identified in quinoa.

Plant oxidosqualene metabolism: cycloartenol synthase-dependent sterol biosynthesis in Nicotiana benthamiana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The plant sterol pathway exhibits a major biosynthetic difference as compared with that of metazoans. The committed sterol precursor is the pentacyclic cycloartenol (9β,19-cyclolanost-24-en-3β-ol) and not lanosterol (lanosta-8,24-dien-3β-ol), as it was ...

Yeast oxidosqualene cyclase (Erg7p) is a major component of lipid particles. [PDF]
, 2002 Oxidosqualene cyclase of the yeast encoded by the ERG7 gene converts oxidosqualene to lanosterol, the first cyclic component of sterol biosynthesis. In a previous study (Athenstaedt, K., Zweytick, D., Jandrositz, A, Kohlwein, S. D., and Daum, G. (1999) J.
