L-Methionine degradation pathway in Kluyveromyces lactis: Identification and functional analysis of the genes encoding L-methionine aminotransferase

Article Abstract:

The putative aminotransferase-encoding genes from Kluyveromyces lactis are cloned in an overproducing vector, pCXJ10, and their effects on the production of volatile sulfur compounds through degradation of L-methionine are analyzed. The transformants carrying the genes cloned in the pCXJ10 vector have produced large amounts of VSCs than the transformant containing the plasmid without any insert or other related putative aminotransferases produced.

Fatty acid production from amino acids and alpha-keto acids by Brevibacterium linens BL2

Article Abstract:

The ability of Brevibacterium linens BL2 to produce fatty acids from amino acids and alpha-keto acids and determine the occurrence of the likely genes in the draft genome sequence is discussed. Results show that Brevibacteria have the ability to produce fatty acids from amino and alpha-keto acids and that carbon metabolism is important in regulating the event.
