• Alternative pathway for 3-cyanoalanine assimilation in pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes CECT5344 under Noncyanotrophic conditions 

      Pérez, María Dolores; Olaya-Abril, Alfonso; Cabello, Purificación; Sáez, Lara P.; Roldán, María Dolores; Moreno-Vivián, Conrado; Luque-Almagro, Víctor Manuel (American Society for Microbiology, 2021)
      3-Cyanoalanine and cyanohydrins are intermediate nitriles produced in cyanide degradation pathways in plants and bacteria. 3-Cyanoalanine is generated from cyanide by the 3-cyanoalanine synthase, an enzyme mainly characterized ...
    • Exploring anaerobic environments for cyanide and cyano-derivatives microbial degradation 

      Luque-Almagro, Víctor Manuel; Cabello, Purificación; Sáez, Lara P.; Olaya-Abril, Alfonso; Moreno-Vivián, Conrado; Roldán, María Dolores (SpringerLink, 2018)
      Cyanide is one of the most toxic chemicals for living organisms described so far. Its toxicity is mainly based on the high affinity that cyanide presents toward metals, provoking inhibition of essential metalloenzymes. ...
    • Genomic Insights into Cyanide Biodegradation in the Pseudomonas Genus 

      Sáez, Lara P.; Rodríguez Caballero, Gema; Olaya-Abril, Alfonso; Cabello, Purificación; Moreno-Vivián, Conrado; Roldán, María Dolores; Luque-Almagro, Víctor Manuel (MDPI, 2024)
      Molecular studies about cyanide biodegradation have been mainly focused on the hydrolytic pathways catalyzed by the cyanide dihydratase CynD or the nitrilase NitC. In some Pseudomonas strains, the assimilation of cyanide ...
