2-Phenylethanol (2PE) is a representative aromatic aroma compound in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves. However, its formation in tea remains unexplored. In our study, feeding experiments of [2H8]L-phenylalanine (Phe), [2H5]phenylpyruvic acid (PPA), or (E/Z)-phenylacetaldoxime (PAOx) showed that three biosynthesis pathways for

Endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is primarily generated by 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) in Escherichia coli (E. coli) under aerobic conditions, renders bacteria highly resistant to oxidative stress. However, the biosynthetic pathway and physiological role of this gas under anaerobic conditions

In situ bioremediation practices that include subsurface addition of fermentable electron donors to stimulate reductive dechlorination by anaerobic bacteria have become widely employed to combat chlorinated solvent contamination in groundwater. At a contaminated site located near Baton Rouge, Louisiana (USA)

(S)-Hydroxymandelate synthase (Hms) is a nonheme Fe(II) dependent dioxygenase that catalyzes the oxidation of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to (S)-4-hydroxymandelate by molecular oxygen. In this work, the substrate promiscuity of Hms is characterized in order to assess its potential for the biosynthesis of

We discovered the phenyllactate (PLA)-producing fungal strain Wickerhamia fluorescens TK1 and purified phenylpyruvate reductase (PPR) from fungal cell-free extracts. The PPR used both NADPH and NADH as cofactors with more preference for the former. The enzyme reaction as well as
