The metallophore staphylopine is essential for survival of <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> in human synovial fluid Open
Due to extended life expectancies, prosthetic joint infections are an increasing burden on healthcare institutions worldwide. The most commonly isolated causative agents are staphylococci, though the mechanisms underpinning survival and pr…

Sticking together: Independent evolution of biofilm formation in different species of staphylococci has occurred multiple times via different pathways Open
Various species of staphylococci cause a wide range of infections, including implant-associated infections which are often difficult to treat due to the presence of biofilms. Whilst some proteins involved in biofilm formation are known, th…

Whole‐cell studies of substrate and inhibitor specificity of isoprene monooxygenase and related enzymes Open
Co‐oxidation of a range of alkenes, dienes, and aromatic compounds by whole cells of the isoprene‐degrading bacterium Rhodococcus sp. AD45 expressing isoprene monooxygenase was investigated, revealing a relatively broad substrate specifici…

Analysis of Essential Isoprene Metabolic Pathway Proteins in <i>Variovorax</i> sp. Strain WS11 Open
Isoprene is a climate-active gas, largely produced by trees, which is released from the biosphere in amounts equivalent to those of methane and all other volatile organic compounds combined. Bacteria found in many environments, including s…

Purification and Characterization of the Isoprene Monooxygenase from <i>Rhodococcus</i> sp. Strain AD45 Open
Isoprene is a highly abundant climate-active gas and a carbon source for some bacteria. Analyses of the genes encoding isoprene monooxygenase (IsoMO) indicate this enzyme is a soluble diiron center monooxygenase in the same family of oxyge…

Identification and characterisation of isoprene‐degrading bacteria in an estuarine environment Open
Summary Approximately one‐third of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted to the atmosphere consists of isoprene, originating from the terrestrial and marine biosphere, with a profound effect on atmospheric chemistry. However, isoprene …
