Effects of Aqua-Glycerol Uptake Facilitator Protein GlpF on Spore Germination of Bacillus subtilis

Foods
Killing spores is an important challenge for the development of the food industry. After germination, the resistance of spores disappears and they are more easily killed, which is currently the main strategy for their destruction. Therefore, study of the

Intermolecular Carbon–Carbon Naphthalene Coupling Involves a Radical Mechanism Driven by Cytochrome P450 in Alternaria alternata

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...
