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 ...

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,

Wide diversity of methane and short-chain alkane metabolisms in uncultured archaea
Nature Microbiology, 2019 Methanogenesis is an ancient metabolism of key ecological relevance, with direct impact on the evolution of Earth’s climate. Recent results suggest that the diversity of methane metabolisms and their derivations have probably been vastly underestimated ...

From leaf to soil: n-alkane signal preservation, despite degradation along an environmental gradient in the tropical Andes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 The relative abundance of n-alkanes of different chain lengths obtained from ancient soils and sediments have been used to reconstruct past environmental changes. However, interpretation of ancient n-alkane patterns relies primarily on modern plant wax n-

Enzymes and Genes Involved in Aerobic Alkane Degradation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil. They are also present at low concentrations in diverse non-contaminated because many living organisms produce them as chemo-attractants or as protecting agents against water loss.

Influence of the carbon atom numbers and the structure of collectors on the coal fines flotation
Cogent Engineering, 2017 This paper highlighted measuring the contact angle, the wetting heat and the IR spectrum before and after interactions between eight alkanes and coals to investigate the influence of the alkane structure and the number of carbon atoms on the coal surface

Arabidopsis CER1-LIKE1 Functions in a Cuticular Very-Long-Chain Alkane-Forming Complex1
Plant Physiology, 2018 The characterization of a further cuticular alkane synthesis enzyme in Arabidopsis supports a model in which several alkane-forming complexes with distinct chain-length substrate specificities coexist in plants.

Bioengineering for the Microbial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contaminants
Bioengineering, 2023 Petroleum hydrocarbons are relatively recalcitrant compounds, and as contaminants, they are one of the most serious environmental problems. n-Alkanes are important constituents of petroleum hydrocarbons.
