MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collabor...
Zdouc, Mitja M.; Blin, Kai; Louwen, Nico L. L.; Navarro, Jorge; Loureiro, Catarina; Bader, Chantal D.; Bailey, Constance B.; Barra, LenaSpecialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readabl...
New insights into cinnamoyl esterase activity of Oenococcus oeni
Collombel, Ingrid; Melkonian, Chrats; Molenaar, Douwe; Campos, Francisco M.; Hogg, TimSome strains of Oenococcus oeni possess cinnamoyl esterase activity that can be relevant in the malolactic stage of wine production liberating hydroxycinnamic acids that are precursors of volatile phenols responsible for sensory faults. The objective of this study was to better understand the basis of the differential activity between strains. After initial screening, five commercial strains of O. oeni were sel...
