Chloroplast engineering of the green microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for the production of HAA, the lipid moiety of rhamnolipid biosurfactants
Miró-Vinyals, Bernat; Artigues Cladera, Margalida; Wostrikoff, Katia; Monte, Elena; Broto Puig, Francesc; Leivar Rico, Pablo; Planas, Antoni (Planas Sauter) (New Biotechnology, 2023-04-11)Hydroxyalkanoyloxyalkanoates (HAA) are lipidic surfactants with a number of potential applications, but more remarkably, they are the biosynthetic precursors of rhamnolipids (RL), which are preferred ... -
Plasmodium falciparum apicomplexan-specific glucosamine-6-phosphate n-acetyltransferase is key for amino sugar metabolism and asexual blood stage development
Planas, Antoni (Planas Sauter); Leivar Rico, Pablo; Chi, Jordi; Cova, Marta; De las Rivas, Matilde; Medina, Ana; Junqueira Borges, Rafael; Usón, Isabel; Hurtado-Guerrero, Ramón; Izquierdo, Luis (Molecular Biology and Physiology. Vol.11, n.5 (2020), e02045-20, 2020-10)ABSTRACT UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), the main product of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway, is an important metabolite in protozoan parasites since its sugar moiety is incorporated into ... -
The sequential action of MIDA9/PP2C.D1, PP2C.D2, and PP2C.D5 is necessary to form and maintain the hook after germination in the dark
Rovira, Arnau; Sentandreu, Maria; Nagatani, Akira; Leivar Rico, Pablo; Monte, Elena (Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021-03-09)During seedling etiolation after germination in the dark, seedlings have closed cotyledons and form an apical hook to protect the meristem as they break through the soil to reach the surface. Once in ...
