AlkB monooxygenases in bacteria are responsible for the hydroxylation of medium-and long-
chain n-alkanes. In this study, one CrgA protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD-1, a …

Aims The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of multiple alkane
hydroxylase systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa DN1, including two homologues of AlkB …

Rhodococcus sp. strain CH91 is capable of utilizing long-chain n-alkanes as the sole carbon
source. Two new genes (alkB1 and alkB2) encoding AlkB-type alkane hydroxylase were …

A gram-negative aliphatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium SJTD-1 isolated from oil-
contaminated soil was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by comparative analyses of …

Strain sw-1, isolated from 7619-m seawater of the Mariana Trench, was identified as
Acinetobacter pittii by 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequencing. A. pittii sw-1 was …

Bioremediation implies the use of living organisms, primarily microorganisms, to convert
environmental contaminants into less toxic forms. The impact of the consequences of …

Gram-positive actinomycete Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is able to grow on C10 to C19 n-
alkanes as a sole source of carbon and energy. To clarify, the n-alkane utilization pathway …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain NY3 has an extraordinary capacity to utilize a wide range
of substrates, including n–alkanes of lengths C 5 to C 34, aromatic compounds, phenols …

Many Acinetobacter species can grow on n-alkanes of varying lengths (≤ C40). AlmA, a
unique flavoprotein in these Acinetobacter strains, is the only enzyme proven to be required …

For further understanding of the roles of small organic acids commonly produced during
alkane degradation, glutaric acid was found to be effective for promoting hexadecane …
