Glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH3) and low km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). New evidence for differential expres…
2011
Epidemiological and experimental studies support the involvement of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in retinal diseases. In addition to other pathogenic mechanisms not fully understood, the possibility remains that peroxidic aldehydes, acting as cytotoxic chemicals, mediate in the progression of chronic ocular disorders.To test proper mechanisms involved in removing peroxidic aldehydes from the retina, in an attempt to understand long-lasting changes induced by LPO, the oxidative and antioxidant enzymatic activities, as well as the retinal distribution and activity of glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (ADH3) and low km mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2), were studied and c…
Draft genome of a novel methanotrophic Methylobacter sp. from the volcanic soils of Pantelleria Island
2021
AbstractThe genus Methylobacter is considered an important and often dominant group of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria in many oxic ecosystems, where members of this genus contribute to the reduction of CH4 emissions. Metagenomic studies of the upper oxic layers of geothermal soils of the Favara Grande, Pantelleria, Italy, revealed the presence of various methane-oxidizing bacteria, and resulted in a near complete metagenome assembled genome (MAG) of an aerobic methanotroph, which was classified as a Methylobacter species. In this study, the Methylobacter sp. B2 MAG was used to investigate its metabolic potential and phylogenetic affiliation. The MAG has a size of 4,086,539 bp, consists …
