Expanding the utilization of alkane mixtures: Enhancing medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate production in Pseudomonas resinovorans through alkane monooxygenase overexpression

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Medium chain length Polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) is a biodegradable bioplastic material with promising applications in various fields, including the medical, packaging, and agricultural industries. This mcl-PHA can be biosynthesized by microorganisms from various carbon sources, and notably, it can also be produced from alkane mixtures contained in ...

Impacts of n-alkane concentration on soil bacterial community structure and alkane monooxygenase genes abundance during bioremediation processes

Frontiers of Environmental Science and Engineering, 2018
Petroleum hydrocarbons, mainly consisting of n-alkanes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are considered as priority pollutants and biohazards in the environment, eventually affecting the ecosystem and human health. Though many previous studies have investigated the change of bacterial community and alkane degraders during the degradation of ...

Crystal Structure of Long-Chain Alkane Monooxygenase (LadA) in Complex with Coenzyme FMN: Unveiling the Long-Chain Alkane Hydroxylase

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2008
LadA, a long-chain alkane monooxygenase, utilizes a terminal oxidation pathway for the conversion of long-chain alkanes (up to at least C(36)) to corresponding primary alcohols in thermophilic bacillus Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2. Here, we report the first structure of the long-chain alkane hydroxylase, LadA, and its complex with the flavin ...

O-O bond cleavage and alkane hydroxylation in methane monooxygenase

JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2001
Several new aspects of the O-O bond cleavage and alkane hydroxylation mechanisms have been studied by hybrid density functional theory in this reinvestigation of methane monooxygenase. As concerning key intermediates in these reactions, a new important low-lying state is found, described either as Fe2(III,V) or as Fe2(III,IV)O.

Studies of Methane Monooxygenase and Alkane Oxidation Model Complexes

1991
Among the recently delineated class of non-heme iron oxo proteins is the hydroxylase component of methane monooxygenase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of methane to methanol according to eq. 1.1 Methane monooxygenases (MMOs) are found in methanotrophic bacteria $$ C{H_4} + NADH + {H^ + } + {O_2} \to C{H_3}OH + NA{D^ + } + {H_2}O $$ (1)

Homology modeling and protein engineering of alkane monooxygenase in Burkholderia thailandensis MSMB121: in silico insights

Journal of Molecular Modeling, 2014
The degradation of hydrocarbons plays an important role in the eco-balancing of petroleum products, pesticides and other toxic products in the environment. The degradation of hydrocarbons by microbes such as Geobacillus thermodenitrificans, Burkhulderia, Gordonia sp. and Acinetobacter sp. has been studied intensively in the literature.

Isolierung und Rekonstitution des Alkan‐Monooxygenase‐Systems der Hefe Lodderomyces elongisporus

Zeitschrift für allgemeine Mikrobiologie, 1983
It is generally assumed that the first step of alkane degradation in several yeast strains and bacteria is catalyzed by a monooxygenase system containing cytochrome P‐450 as the terminal oxidase and a NADPH‐cytochrome P‐450 reductase as the electron transfer component.

Selective hydroxylation of small alkanes by the particulate methane monooxygenase

1996
The particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) catalyzes the oxidation of methane to methanol under ambient temperatures and pressures. Other small alkanes and alkenes are also substrates of this enzyme. We measured and compared the initial rate constants of oxidation of small alkanes (C1 to C5) catalyzed by pMMO. Both primary and secondary alcohols were
