Ever wondered why your #TRIS-buffered solutions turn turbid on the shelf so quickly? Look no further, it’s #pseudomonas. new study from our lab out as a preprint describing a complete TRIS degradation pathway in #bacteria biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20… #microbiology #HGT #biorxiv
A patchwork pathway of apparently recent origin enables degradation of the synthetic buffer compound TRIS in bacteria
The widely used synthetic chemical 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol (TRIS) was long considered to be biologically inert. Herein, we describe a complete degradation pathway for the catabolism of TRIS in bacteria.bioRxiv
