TL;DR: A review of fluoroacetate and 4-fluorothreonine biosynthesis in the bacterium Streptomyces cattleya can be found in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halomethane from halide ion—a highly efficient fungal conversion of environmental significance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured CH3C1 production by a common wood-rotting fungus, and reported that on glucose-based media, the chloride ion (Cl−) at concentrations 90% efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chloride Methylation by Plant Pectin: An Efficient Environmentally Significant Process
TL;DR: Evidence is presented here that CH3Cl is produced in many terrestrial environments by a common mechanism, and this ubiquitous process acting in terrestrial ecosystems and during biomass burning could contribute the bulk of atmosphericCH3Cl.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial metabolism of aromatic nitriles. Enzymology of C–N cleavage by Nocardia sp. (Rhodochrous group) N.C.I.B. 11216
TL;DR: Cell-free extracts of benzonitrile-grown cells contain an enzyme that catalyses the conversion of benzoneitrile directly into benzoic acid without intermediate formation of benzamide, and studies with different substrates indicate that the nitrilase is specific for nitrile groups directly attached to the benzene ring.
