Biotransformation of D-limonene to (+) trans-carveol by toluene-grown Rhodococcus opacus PWD4 cells

Article Abstract:

An enzyme from Rhodococcus opacus PWD4 involved in toluene degradation is also responsible for hydroxylating D-limonene in the 6-position, forming (+) trans-carveol. D-limonene is a byproduct of the fruit juice industry that is inexpensive and can be used to create other flavor compounds such as carveol, carvone, and perillyl alcohol.

Gene sequence and properties of an s-triazine ring-cleavage enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. strain NRRLB-12227

Article Abstract:

The isolation of cyanuric acid amidohydrolase from E. coli containing the cloned gene from Pseudomonas is described. This enzyme breaks down chemicals containing the s-triazine ring, which includes many pesticides. The gene sequence and enzyme sequence show little similarity to any known gene or protein.

A novel protein-deamidating enzyme from Chryseobacterium proteolyticum sp. nov., a newly isolated bacterium from soil

Article Abstract:

Researchers have isolated a deamidating enzyme from a soil bacterium in the genus Chryseobacterium. Deamidation of food proteins improves their solubility, emulsification, and foaming and gelation properties.
