Structural insights into diversity and n-alkane biodegradation mechanisms of alkane hydroxylases
Frontiers 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 ...

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-
