Several halophytes and a few crop plants, including Poaceae, synthesize and accumulate
glycine betaine (GB) in response to environmental constraints. GB plays an important role in …

Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

Fluctuations in environmental osmolarity are ubiquitous stress factors in many natural
habitats of microorganisms, as they inevitably trigger osmotically instigated fluxes of water …

From Egyptian mummies to the Chanel n° 5 perfume, fatty aldehydes have long been used
and keep impacting our senses in a wide range of foods, beverages and perfumes. Natural …

A simple and cost-effective biosensor design is highly desirable for the detection of
organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) due to their increasing environmental concerns. Mostly …

Abstract Structure‐guided directed evolution of choline oxidase has been carried out by
using the oxidation of hexan‐1‐ol to hexanal as the target reaction. A six‐amino‐acid variant …

Arsenic, a highly cytotoxic and cancerogenic metalloid, is brought into the biosphere through
geochemical sources and anthropogenic activities. A global biogeochemical arsenic …

Antimicrobial resistance represents a major threat to human health and knowledge of the
underlying mechanisms is therefore vital. Here, we report the discovery and characterization …

FAD-dependent alcohol oxidases (AOX) are key enzymes of methylotrophic organisms that
can utilize lower primary alcohols as sole source of carbon and energy. Here we report the …

The bacterial flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent glucose dehydrogenase
complex derived from Burkholderia cepacia (BcGDH) is a representative molecule of direct …
