Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how marine bacteria degrade polyamines like putrescine (PUT) and spermidine (SPD) in seawater by analyzing gene expression patterns in bacterioplankton communities with and without these compounds.
- Statistically significant differences in gene transcription showed an increase in genes related to translating proteins and organic nitrogen metabolism when polyamines were present.
- The research indicates that the transamination pathway is the main method for polyamine degradation, primarily driven by specific bacterial groups such as roseobacter and SAR11, alongside other diverse marine bacteria.
