Alkane monooxygenase systems in short-chain alkane-utilizing bacteria were examined at
the physiological and genetic levels. Butane monooxygenases of butane-grown …

Alkane monooxygenases in Nocardioides sp. strain CF8 were examined at the physiological
and genetic levels. Strain CF8 can utilize alkanes ranging in chain length from C2 to C16 …

Butane monooxygenases of butane-grown Pseudomonas butanovora, Mycobacterium
vaccae JOB5, and an environmental isolate, CF8, were compared at the physiological level …

Mycobacterium sp. TY-6 and Pseudonocardia sp. TY-7 were isolated from soil samples as
propane-utilizing bacteria and were found to be able to utilize various gaseous and liquid n …

Pseudomonas mendocina KR1 oxidizes the gasoline oxygenate methyl tertiary butyl ether
(MTBE) to tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) during growth on C5–C8n‐alkanes. We have further …

Many bacteria can use linear n-alkanes as sole carbon and energy source for growth. In
Pseudomonas putida (oleovorans) GPo1, the first step of alkane oxidation is catalyzed by an …

Aims: Mycobacterium sp. strain ENV421 has the ability to cometabolize a variety of
chemicals following growth on propane as a sole source of carbon and energy. In this study …

The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on
methane and long chain-length alkanes (> C10). Less is known about monooxygenase …

The genes encoding the six polypeptide components of the alkene monooxygenase from
Xanthobacter strain Py2 (Xamo) have been located on a 4.9-kb fragment of chromosomal …

Physiological and regulatory mechanisms that allow the alkane-oxidizing bacterium
Pseudomonas butanovora to consume C2 to C8 alkane substrates via butane …
