Regulation mechanism of the long-chain n-alkane monooxygenase gene almA in Acinetobacter venetianus RAG-1

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
As toxic pollutants, n-alkanes are pervasively distributed in most environmental matrices. Although the alkane monooxygenase AlmA plays a critical role in the metabolic pathway of solid long-chain n-alkanes (≥C20) that are extremely difficult to degrade,

Development of a microbial dewaxing agent using three spore forming bacteria

Bioresources and Bioprocessing
Microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) is a cost effective and efficient method for recovering residual oil. However, the presence of wax (paraffin) in residual oil can substantially reduce the efficiency of MEOR.

Enzymatic activity screening in marine bacteria exposed to oxo-polyethylene in artificial marine microcosms

BMC Research Notes
Objectives Oxo-polyethylene (oxo-PE) is marketed as a biodegradable plastic, yet its environmental degradation remains poorly understood, particularly in marine contexts. This study aimed to screen for bacterial isolates with enzymatic potential relevant

Multi-omics analysis reveals age-dependent changes in flavor compounds and meat quality in Jiaji ducks between 60 and 70 days of age

Poultry Science
Our previous study demonstrated that duck muscle undergoes rapid development between 60 and 70 days of age. However, the changes and underlying mechanisms governing flavor compound deposition during this period remains unclear. In this study, we compared

Employment of alkane 1-monooxygenase in efficient whole-cell production of tulipalin A

Istražena je primjena alkan 1-monooksigenaza (Alk) u cilju optimizacije konverzije izoprenil acetata (MBAc) do 3-(hidroksimetil)but-3-en-1-il acetata (HMBAc), koja je dio kreiranog puta sinteze tulipalina A. Hidroksilacija MBAc do HMBAc kao i n-oktana do 1-oktanola i 1-oktanske kiseline odabranim Alk enzimima, koji su eksprimirani u stanicama E.
