My main research interests are in microbial metabolism and the enzymology of these processes. Work has focussed on the elucidation of reactions and pathways used by both bacteria and fungi for the breakdown of various compounds to central metabolites, and the purification characterization of some of the unusual and interesting enzymes involved. Most, although not all, of the compounds studied have contained aromatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic rings and have included both natural products and chemicals regarded as man-made environmental pollutants. Currently I am researching the breakdown of fused N-heterocyclic rings that are found in quinolizidine alkaloids.
