High diversity of anaerobic alkane-degrading microbial communities in marine seep sediments based on (1-methylalkyl)succinate synthase genes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Alkanes comprise a substantial fraction of crude oil and are prevalent at marine seeps. These environments are typically anoxic and host diverse microbial communities that grow on alkanes.

Structure and mechanism of the alkane-oxidizing enzyme AlkB

Nature Communications, 2023
Alkanes are the most energy-rich form of carbon and are widely dispersed in the environment. Their transformation by microbes represents a key step in the global carbon cycle.

Interfacial Polymerization at the Alkane/Ionic Liquid Interface

Angewandte Chemie, 2021
Polymerization at the liquid–liquid interface has attracted much attention for synthesizing ultrathin polymer films for molecular sieving. However, it remains a major challenge to conduct this process outside the alkane–water interface since it not only ...

Numerical investigations of C1-C3 alkanes and H2 premixed flame-wall interaction: Effectiveness of insulation wall on heat loss reduction

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology, 2020
Conjugate heat transfer analyses of premixed flames propagating toward the insulation or Al alloy wall are performed for C1 to C3 alkanes and H2 flames at different equivalence ratios of φ = 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 under a high pressure condition of 2MPa ...

Optical Properties of a Tapered Optical Fiber Coated with Alkanes Doped with Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles

Sensors, 2022
The presented research shows the possibilities of creating in-line magnetic sensors based on the detection of changes of light propagation parameters, especially polarization, obtained by mixing Fe3O4 nanoparticles with hexadecane (higher alkane ...

Effects of the Alkane on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction on Well-Defined Pt Surfaces

Electrochemistry, 2020
Previous study shows that tetra-n-hexylammonium cation (THA+), which is composed of one nitrogen atom and four alkyl chains, increases the activity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on Pt(111) eight times as high as that of bare Pt(111).

Hydrocarbon Desaturation in Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membranes Is Linked With Acclimation to Suboptimal Growth Temperatures

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The ability to produce medium chain length aliphatic hydrocarbons is strictly conserved in all photosynthetic cyanobacteria, but the molecular function and biological significance of these compounds still remain poorly understood.

Compound-Specific Isotope Analysis of Diesel Fuels in a Forensic Investigation

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015
Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) offers great potential as a tool to provide chemical evidence in a forensic investigation. Many attempts to trace environmental oil spills were successful where isotopic values were particularly distinct. However,
