Abstract The concept of 1, 3‐dipolar cycloadditions was presented by Rolf Huisgen 60 years
ago. Previously unknown reactive intermediates, for example azomethine ylides, were …

The application of microbes to valorize aromatic compounds derived from the abundant
plant biopolymer lignin is a rapidly developing area of research that may ultimately enable …

Yeast cells are often employed in industrial fermentation processes for their ability to
efficiently convert relatively high concentrations of sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide …

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 …

Coenzyme Q (CoQ, ubiquinone) is a redox-active lipid produced across all domains of life
that functions in electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation and whose deficiency …

Covering: up to mid-2020 Terpenoids, also called isoprenoids, are the largest and most
structurally diverse family of natural products. Found in all domains of life, there are over 80 …

Hydrocarbons are abundant in anoxic environments and pose biochemical challenges to
their anaerobic degradation by microorganisms. Within the framework of the Priority …

The environmentally relevant xenobiotic esters of phthalic acid (PA), isophthalic acid (IPA)
and terephthalic acid (TPA) are produced on a million ton scale annually and are …

The conversion of biomass-derived sugars and aromatic molecules to cis, cis-muconic acid
(referred to hereafter as muconic acid or muconate) has been of recent interest owing to its …

Plastoquinone (PQ) and ubiquinone (UQ) are two important prenylquinones, functioning as
electron transporters in the electron transport chain of oxygenic photosynthesis and the …
