Abstract: Branched-chain polyamines (BCPAs) are unique polycations found in (hyper)thermophiles. Thermococcus kodakarensis grows optimally at 85 °C and produces the BCPA N 4 -bis(aminopropyl)spermidine by sequential addition of decarboxylated S -adenosylmethionine (dcSAM) aminopropyl groups to spermidine (SPD)… read more here.
