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,

In Vivo Evolution of Butane Oxidation by Terminal Alkane Hydroxylases AlkB and CYP153A6 [PDF]
, 2009 Enzymes of the AlkB and CYP153 families catalyze the first step in the catabolism of medium-chain-length alkanes, selective oxidation of the alkane to the 1-alkanol, and enable their host organisms to utilize alkanes as carbon sources.

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-

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

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

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.

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.
