Hemoglobin expression reduces aerobic bioconversion of guaiacol in Pseudomonas putida despite non-limiting oxygen.
Article in AMB Express, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Efficient lignin valorization relies on oxidative enzymatic reactions, making oxygen availability a critical determinant of process performance. Pseudomonas putida, an obligate aerobe and promising host for valorization of aromatic compounds, experiences reduced growth and conversion rates under oxygen limitation. Here, two plant hemoglobin genes originating from Arabidopsis thaliana (AHb2) and Beta vulgaris (BvHb2) were expressed, and the resulting strains were evaluated for growth on glucose and vanillin, and for whole-cell bioconversion of guaiacol to muconic acid. Expression of hemoglobin showed a tendency toward improved growth on glucose, but not on vanillin, in shake flask cultivations. In contrast, expression of AHb2 in a strain co-expressing gcoAB for conversion of guaiacol to cis, cis-muconic acid resulted in reduced growth and respiration under well-controlled bioreactor conditions, despite non-limiting oxygen. Furthermore, lower conversion rates of guaiacol to cis, cis-muconic acid were observed without affecting product yield, indicating that hemoglobin expression influences how oxygen is utilized within the cell rather than improving its availability for bioconversion.
