abstract = "We discovered and characterised a novel fluorinating enzyme from marine-derived bacterium Streptomyces xinghaiensis, this is the first ever fluorinase unveiled from marine source. It is also the {\textquoteleft}fastest{\textquoteright} fluorinase by far, which promises to be useful for bio-diagnostic and industrial purposes such as PET radiotracer labeling, fluorinated bio-transformation and synthetic biology.",
