Identity and mechanisms of alkane-oxidizing metalloenzymes from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Six aerobic alkanotrophs (organism that can metabolize alkanes as their sole carbon source) isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents were characterized using the radical clock substrate norcarane to determine the metalloenzyme and reaction mechanism ...
