Screening for alkane hydroxylase genes (alk B) was performed in thermophilic aerobic
bacteria of the genus Geobacillus. Total DNAs were isolated from the biomass of 11 strains …

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 …

Alcanivorax borkumensis is an oil-degrading marine bacterium. Its genome contains genes
coding for three cytochrome P450s and two integral membrane alkane hydroxylases (AlkB1 …

A novel diesel-degrading bacterial strain, A2 T, was isolated from soil that was heavily
contaminated with oil. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, and DNA analyses, strain A2 T …

In this issue of the Journal of Bacteriology, van Beilen and colleagues (20) propose an
elegant model that explains how members of the family of integral membrane alkane …

Red clay was previously used to enhance bioremediation of diesel-contaminated soil. It was
speculated that the enhanced degradation of diesel was due to increased bacterial growth …

Es besteht eine große Nachfrage nach selektiven Katalysatoren für die nachhaltige
Oxidation von Alkanen, denn die in der Umwelt sehr häufig vorkommenden Alkane können …

The global feature of the completely sequenced Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2 type strain
chromosome is its symmetry and homogeneity. The origin and terminus of replication are …

Monooxygenases are a class of enzymes that facilitate the bacterial degradation of alkanes
and alkenes. The regulatory components associated with monooxygenases are nature's …

This manuscript offers a biochemical insight into how the novel strain A. borkumensis can
grow effectively on metal-free carbonaceous materials in the presence of hexadecane and …
