Actinobacteria constitute one of the largest phyla among Bacteria and represent gram-
positive bacteria with a high G+ C content in their DNA. This bacterial group includes …

A large number of aromatic compounds and organic nitriles, the two groups of compounds
covered in this review, are intermediates, products, by-products or waste products of the …

The heteropolymer lignin represents an untapped resource for production of renewable
aromatic chemicals, if efficient depolymerisation methods can be developed. In this work, the …

Although the human gut microbiome plays a prominent role in xenobiotic transformation,
most of the genes and enzymes responsible for this metabolism are unknown. Recently, we …

This review discusses the use of engineered microbes for bioconversion of lignin from plant
biomass to produce renewable chemicals. Existing bacterial hosts for lignin bioconversion …

Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 peroxidase DypB has been recently identified as a bacterial lignin
peroxidase. The dypB gene is cotranscribed with a gene encoding an encapsulin protein …

Genetic modification of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 was carried out in order to optimise the
production of pyridine-2, 4-dicarboxylic acid and pyridine-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid bioproducts …

Lignin represents the most abundant renewable aromatics in nature, which has complicated
and heterogeneous structure. The rapid development of biotransformation technology has …

The main features that characterize rolling‐circle replication (RCR)(see Fig. 1A) derive from
its singular initiation mechanism, which relies on the sequence‐specific cleavage, at the nick …

Genes encoding vanillin dehydrogenase (vdh) and vanillate O-demethylase (vanAB) were
identified in Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 using gene disruption and enzyme activities. During …
