Abstract Homarine (N-methylpicolinic acid) is a ubiquitous marine metabolite produced by phytoplankton and noted for its infochemical properties among marine animals, yet its microbial degradation pathways are uncharacterized. Here we identify a conserved operon (homABCDER) that mediates homarine catabolism in bacteria using comparative transcriptomics, mutagenesis and targeted knockouts.

Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! The past 15 years have seen a proliferation of mass spectrometry (MS) data storage format proposals. While the mzML file type has become the standard open-source format, (1) its text-based XML structure and emphasis on metadata preservation mean that access times are relatively slow and file sizes are substantially larger than the vendor formats.
