Energy-producing ability of bacteria under oxidative stress
… study was to elucidate alternative adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-forming pathways that enable the model bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens to survive a nitrosative challenge in a fumarate medium. Fumarate was metabolized by fumarase C (FUM C), a RNS-resistant enzyme and fumarate reductase (FRD). …

Cool Temperature Effects on Productivity and Photosynthesis of Two Biomass Fuel Species: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and Miscanthus (Miscanthus x giganteus)
… limitations of C4 photosynthesis by the enzyme pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) under the same cool conditions, transgenic switchgrass cv. Alamo were created with the insertion of the miscanthus PPDK gene. Productivity and photosynthetic responses of the transgenic plants were evaluated in …

Metabolic engineering aimed at the production of keto acids from glycerol : an industrial by-product
… reprogramming aimed at the enhanced formation of pyruvate and α-ketoglutarate (KG). Under the influence of H2O2, P. fluorescens engineers an intricate metabolic network to synthesize ATP and pyruvate. As oxidative phosphorylation is severely impeded, the microbe invokes substrate level …

Improving C4 photosynthetic chilling tolerance in bioenergy crops: the search for elite breeding materials
… to be caused by the chilling-induced lability of pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) and decrease in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) enzyme contents, which directly limits the C4 cycle and indirectly leads to damage to the photosynthetic apparatus in the thylakoid membrane …

Understanding the physiological and molecular basis of chilling tolerance across species of the C4 genera Miscanthus and Spartina
… assimilation pathway, including ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), phosphoenolypyruvate carboxylase (PEPc), pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK) or one of the three decarboxylating enzymes specific to the C4 sub-type, or 2) the fact that C4 photosynthesis evolved relatively …
