Sterol methyltransferases in uncultured bacteria complicate eukaryotic biomarker interpretations

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Malory O. Brown from the Theonella swinhoei associated Chromatiales sp, of , OTHER METAGENOME Marine sediment, Gulf of Thailand have published the research: Sterol methyltransferases in uncultured bacteria complicate eukaryotic biomarker interpretations, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 29/07/2022
  • what: The authors show that sterol methyltransferases from both sponges and yetuncultured bacteria function in_vitro and identify three methyltransferases from symbiotic bacteria each capable of sequential methylations resulting in the 24-isopropyl sterol side-chain. The authors demonstrate that bacteria have the genomic capacity to synthesize side-chain alkylated sterols, and that bacterial symbionts may . . .
