Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …

Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil. They are also present at low concentrations in
diverse non-contaminated because many living organisms produce them as chemo …

Bioconversion of a heterogeneous mixture of lignin-related aromatic compounds (LRCs) to a
single product via microbial biocatalysts is a promising approach to valorize lignin. Here …

Lignin is an alkyl-aromatic polymer present in plant cell walls for defense, structure, and
water transport. Despite exhibiting a high-energy content, lignin is typically slated for …

Lignin is an important structural component of terrestrial plants and is readily generated
during biomass fractionation in lignocellulose processing facilities. Due to lacking …

Valorization of all major lignocellulose components, including lignin, cellulose, and
hemicellulose is critical for an economically viable bioeconomy. In most biochemical …

Our view on the bacterial responses to the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds has
been enriched considerably by the current omic methodologies and systems biology …

Carbon catabolite repression refers to the preference of microbes to metabolize certain
growth substrates over others in response to a variety of regulatory mechanisms. Such …

Lignin is one largely untapped natural resource that can be exploited as a raw material for
the bioproduction of value-added chemicals. Meanwhile, the current petroleum-based …

Alkane-degrading bacteria are ubiquitous in marine environments, but little is known about
how alkane degradation is regulated. Here we investigate alkane sensing, chemotaxis …
