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.

Plant n-alkane production from litterfall altered the diversity and community structure of alkane degrading bacteria in litter layer in lowland subtropical rainforest in Taiwan [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 n-Alkane and alkane-degrading bacteria have long been used as crucial biological indicators of paleoecology, petroleum pollution, and oil and gas prospecting.

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

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.

Computer-aided ionic liquid design for alkane/cycloalkane extractive distillation process
Green Energy & Environment, 2019 A computer-aided ionic liquid design (CAILD) study is presented for the frequently encountered alkane/cycloalkane separations in petrochemical industry. Exhaustive experimental data are first collected to extend the UNIFAC-IL model for this system, where
