Allemann M, Kato R, Carper D, Hochanadel L, Alexander W, Giannone R, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2025 Jan; 91(2):e0208124. PMID: 39846750
Lignin contains a variety of interunit linkages, leading to a range of potential decomposition products that can be used as carbon and energy sources by microbes. β-O-4 linkages are the...

Microbiol Resour Announc . 2024 Dec; 14(1):e0084424. PMID: 39665553
A randomly barcoded transposon insertion sequencing (RB-TnSeq) library of DSM12444 was grown in media containing either glucose or the β-5-linked aromatic dimer dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DC-A) as the sole carbon source....

Christel S, Carrell A, Hochanadel L, Villalobos Solis M, Abraham P, Jawdy S, et al.
mBio . 2024 Dec; 16(1):e0301624. PMID: 39660924
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a fundamental evolutionary process that plays a key role in bacterial evolution. The likelihood of a successful transfer event is expected to depend on the...

Drufva E, Cahill J, Saint-Vincent P, Williams A, Bocharova V, Capra N, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Nov; PMID: 39605696
Enzymes have evolved to rapidly and selectively hydrolyze diverse natural and anthropogenic polymers, but only a limited group of related enzymes have been shown to hydrolyze synthetic polyamides. In this...

Metz F, Olsen A, Lu F, Myers K, Allemann M, Michener J, et al.
mBio . 2024 Jul; 15(8):e0171824. PMID: 39012147
Importance: In the transition to a circular bioeconomy, the plant polymer lignin holds promise as a renewable source of industrially important aromatic chemicals. However, since lignin contains aromatic subunits joined...

Cahill J, Kertesz V, Saint-Vincent P, Valentino H, Drufva E, Thiele N, et al.
J Am Soc Mass Spectrom . 2023 Jun; 34(7):1383-1391. PMID: 37262418
Enzymatic biodegradation of polymers, such as polyamides (PA), has the potential to cost-effectively reduce plastic waste, but enhancements in degradation efficiency are needed. Engineering enzymes through directed evolution is one...

Bilbao A, Munoz N, Kim J, Orton D, Gao Y, Poorey K, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 Apr; 14(1):2461. PMID: 37117207
Multidimensional measurements using state-of-the-art separations and mass spectrometry provide advantages in untargeted metabolomics analyses for studying biological and environmental bio-chemical processes. However, the lack of rapid analytical methods and robust...

Environ Technol Innov . 2023 Apr; 28. PMID: 37091576
Mobilizable plasmids are extra-chromosomal, circular DNA that have contributed to the rapid evolution of bacterial genomes and have been used in environmental, biotechnological, and medicinal applications. Degradative plasmids with genetic...

Allemann M, Presley G, Elkins J, Michener J
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol . 2023 Feb; 73(2). PMID: 36790427
A bacterial isolate, B1D3A, was isolated from river sediment collected from the Hiwassee River near Calhoun, TN, by enrichment culturing with a model 5-5' lignin dimer, dehydrodivanillate, as its sole...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2023 Jan; 120(4):e2212246120. PMID: 36652470
Lignin valorization is being intensely pursued via tandem catalytic depolymerization and biological funneling to produce single products. In many lignin depolymerization processes, aromatic dimers and oligomers linked by carbon-carbon bonds...
