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 …

Acinetobacter sp. strain DSM 17874 is capable of utilizing n-alkanes with chain lengths
ranging from that of decane (C10H22) to that of tetracontane (C40H82) as a sole carbon …

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 …

The alkB gene encodes for alkane 1-monooxygenase, which is a key enzyme responsible
for the initial oxidation of inactivated alkanes. This functional gene can be used as a marker …

Aims: To investigate the alkane‐hydroxylating system of isolate SP2B, closely related to
Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T and uncharacterized so far for its alkane degradation …

Alkane constitutes major fractions of crude oils, and its microbial aerobic degradation
dominantly follows the terminal oxidation and the sub‐terminal pathways. However, the …

A Gram-negative coccus, strain 2B5, was isolated from the sea mud of the crude oil-polluted
Donghai area in China and identified as Alcanivorax sp. based on its physiological …

Three kinds of enzymes, designated A, B and C, involved in n-alkane oxidation were found
in the cytoplasm of n-alkanegrown Acinetobacter sp. M-1. All catalyzed the dioxygenation of …

The physiological response of Acinetobacter sp. to alkane oxidation results in the
intracellular accumulation? f alkane and synthesis qf new intracellular membrane …

A bacterial strain capable of utilizing n-alkanes with chain lengths ranging from decane (C
10 H 22) to tetracontane (C 40 H 82) as a sole carbon source was isolated using a system …
