Characterization of the Medium- and Long-Chain n-Alkanes Degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain SJTD-1 and Its Alkane Hydroxylase Genes

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
A gram-negative aliphatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium SJTD-1 isolated from oil-contaminated soil was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by comparative analyses of the 16S rRNA sequence, phenotype, and physiological features.

Alkane Biosynthesis Genes in Cyanobacteria and Their Transcriptional Organization

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2014
In cyanobacteria, alkanes are synthesized from a fatty acyl-ACP by two enzymes, acyl–acyl carrier protein reductase and aldehyde deformylating oxygenase.

Structural Insights into Diversity and n-Alkane Biodegradation Mechanisms of Alkane Hydroxylases

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Environmental microbes utilize four degradation pathways for the oxidation of n-alkanes. Although the enzymes degrading n-alkanes in different microbes may vary, enzymes functioning in the first step in the aerobic degradation of alkanes all belong to ...

Identification and use of an alkane transporter plug-in for applications in biocatalysis and whole-cell biosensing of alkanes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2014
Effective application of whole-cell devices in synthetic biology and biocatalysis will always require consideration of the uptake of molecules of interest into the cell.

Alkane Hydroxylase Gene (alkB) Phylotype Composition and Diversity in Northern Gulf of Mexico Bacterioplankton

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2013
Natural and anthropogenic activities introduce alkanes into marine systems where they are degraded by alkane hydroxylases expressed by phylogenetically diverse bacteria. Partial sequences for alkB, one of the structural genes of alkane hydroxylase, have

Alkane inducible proteins in Geobacillus thermoleovorans B23

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Initial step of β-oxidation is catalyzed by acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in prokaryotes and mitochondria, while acyl-CoA oxidase primarily functions in the peroxisomes of eukaryotes. Oxidase reaction accompanies emission of toxic by-product reactive
