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

Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil and are also present at low concentrations in
diverse non-contaminated habitats because many living organisms produce them as chemo …

The sulfate-reducing strain AK-01 activates alkanes via addition of the subterminal carbon to
the double bond of fumarate. This reaction is similar to the action of the glycyl radical …

Summary The marine γ‐Proteobacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis is highly specialized in
the assimilation of aliphatic hydrocarbons, and makes up a large part of the biomass in oil …

In cold marine environments, the obligate hydrocarbon‐degrading psychrophile Oleispira
antarctica RB‐8, which utilizes aliphatic alkanes almost exclusively as substrates, dominates …

The standard representation of the Central Dogma (CD) of Molecular Biology conspicuously
ignores metabolism. However, both the metabolites and the biochemical fluxes behind any …

Indigenous bacterial populations play an important role in the restoration of crude oil-
polluted marine environments. The identification and characterization of these bacteria are …

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 …

Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2T is an important obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium
(OHCB) that can dominate microbial communities following marine oil spills. It possesses …

Enzymes involved in oxidation of long-chain n-alkanes are still not well known, especially
those in Gram-positive bacteria. This work describes the alkane degradation system of the n …
