    1-Octen-3-ol is formed from its primeveroside after mechanical wounding of soybean leaves

    Hydrolysis of 1-octen-3-yl β-primeveroside implemented by a system with high structure-specificity is accountable for the rapid formation of 1-octen-3-ol from soybean leaves after mechanical wounding.

    11-Hydroperoxide eicosanoid-mediated 2(E),4(E)-decadienal production from arachidonic acid in the brown algae, Saccharina angustata

    This work aims to propose a pathway for the production of 2(E),4(E)-decadienal from arachidonic acid (ARA) via 11-hydroperoxide eicosanoid (11 hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, 11-HPETE) through lipoxygenase (LOX...

    Use of Monascus sp. NP1 for bioethanol production from Cladophora glomerata

    The fungus Monascus sp. was able to produce ethanol instead of red pigment under glucose derepression with greater and more tolerance to ethanol than yeast. Algae are known as a polysaccharide resource for bioeth...

    Biochemical characterization of allene oxide synthases from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha and green microalgae Klebsormidium flaccidum provides insight into the evolutionary divergence of the plant CYP74 family

    Allene oxide synthases (AOSs) were isolated from liverworts and charophytes. These AOSs exhibited enzymatic properties similar to those of angiosperms but formed a distinct phylogenetic clade. ...
