Throughout the 3000 million years that bacteria have been on planet Earth, they have
evolved amazing mechanisms for rapid adaptation to every imaginable type of …

The Pseudomonas putida GPo1 (commonly known as Pseudomonas oleovorans GPo1)
alkBFGHJKL and alkST gene clusters, which encode proteins involved in the conversion of …

Two extremely thermophilic alkane-degrading bacterial strains, B23 and H41, were
respectively isolated from deep subterranean petroleum reservoirs in the Minami-aga …

Expression of the alkane degradation pathway encoded in the OCT plasmid of
Pseudomonas putida GPo1 is induced in the presence of alkanes by the AlkS regulator, and …

In many microorganisms the first step for alkane degradation is the terminal oxidation of the
molecule by an alkane hydroxylase. We report the characterization of a gene coding for an …

The induction of the enzyme activities involved in butane metabolism in Pseudomonas
butanovora was characterized. P. butanovora was grown on butane or its metabolites, both …

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 …

Burkholderia cepacia strain isolated from an oil-contaminated site. The protein encoded
showed similarity to other known or predicted bacterial alkane hydroxylases, although it …

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