Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

During growth with terminally monofluorinated decanes, the soil isolate Pseudomonas sp. strain 273 releases inorganic fluoride and channels fluorometabolites into glycerophospholipid biosynthesis. We explored the ability of this bacterium to metabolize 1,1-difluorodecane (F2-decane), 1,1,1-trifluorodecane (F3-decane), and 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluorodecane (F5-decane) to assess the impacts of increasing degree of fluorination on organismal metabolism. Growth occurred with all three polyfluorodecane substrates, and inorganic fluoride release was observed in cultures amended with F2-decane and F5-decane but not with F3-decane. Fluorine nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 19 F NMR) detected polyfluorinated C 6 and C 4 short-chain fatty acid catabolites suggesting incomplete β-oxidation during catabolism by strain 273. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis corroborated the formation of terminally poly- or perfluorinated short-chain fatty acids. Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) based global lipidome profiling revealed glycerophospholipids with fluorine substitutions at the sn1/sn2 acyl chains and identified a range of glycerophospholipids that contained between two and ten fluorines depending on the growth substrate. These findings advance our understanding of bacterial transformation of alkanes with poly- and perfluorinated carbons and highlight the formation of short-chain fluorinated fatty acids as catabloc products and fluorophospholipids as anabolic products.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
