First description of betalains biosynthesis in an aquatic organism: characterization of 4,5‐DOPA‐extradiol‐dioxygenase activity in the cyanobacteria Anabaena cylindrica
Summary The biosynthesis of betalamic acid, the structural unit of pigments betalains, is performed by enzymes with 4,5‐DOPA‐extradiol‐dioxygenase activity. These enzymes were believed to be limited to plants of the order Caryophyllales and to some fungi. However, the discovery of Gluconacetobacter...
