SNF1 plays a crucial role in the utilization of n-alkane and transcriptional regulation of the genes involved in it in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica [PDF]
HeliyonYarrowia lipolytica is an ascomycetous yeast that can assimilate hydrophobic carbon sources including oil and n-alkane. The sucrose non-fermenting 1/AMP-activated protein kinase (Snf1/AMPK) complex is involved in the assimilation of non-fermentable ...

Long-chain n-alkane biodegradation coupling to methane production in an enriched culture from production water of a high-temperature oil reservoir [PDF]
AMB Express, 2020 Paraffinic n-alkanes (C22–C30), crucial portions of residual oil, are generally considered to be difficult to be biodegraded owing to their general solidity at ambient temperatures and low water solubility, rendering relatively little known about ...

The GntR/VanR transcription regulator AlkR represses AlkB2 monooxygenase expression and regulates n‐alkane degradation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa SJTD‐1 [PDF]
mLifeTransmembrane alkane monooxygenase (AlkB)‐type monooxygenases, especially AlkB2 monooxygenases, are crucial for aerobic degradation of the medium‐to‐long‐chain n‐alkanes in hydrocarbon‐utilizing microorganisms.

Characterization and Transcriptional Regulation of n-Alkane Hydroxylase Gene Cluster of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2019 Gram-positive actinomycete Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 is able to grow on C10 to C19 n-alkanes as a sole source of carbon and energy. To clarify, the n-alkane utilization pathway—a cluster of 5 genes (alkBrubA1A2BalkU) which appeared to be involved in ...

Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Distinct Adaptation Mechanisms for Degradation of n-Alkane and Branched Alkane in the Salt-Tolerant Bacterium Dietzia sp. CN-3 [PDF]
MicroorganismsAlthough hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria utilize a wide range of alkanes, the global metabolic features and regulatory mechanisms governing their growth on alkanes with different chain lengths remain incompletely elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the

Secondary organic aerosols derived from intermediate-volatility n-alkanes adopt low-viscous phase state [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsSecondary organic aerosol (SOA) derived from n-alkanes, as emitted from vehicles and volatile chemical products, is a major component of anthropogenic particulate matter, yet the chemical composition and phase state are poorly understood and thus poorly ...

Simultaneous correlation of the excess enthalpy and W-shaped excess heat capacity of 1, 4-dioxane- n-alkane systems by PRSV-HVOS CEOS [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2003 In this work the Peng-Robinson-Stryjek-Vera (PRSV) equation of state coupled with the Huron-Vidal-Orbey-Sandler (HVOS) rule was tested for the correlation of the excess enthalpy (HE) and the excess heat capacity (cp E) alone and simultaneously.

Leaf wax n-alkanes in modern plants and topsoils from eastern Georgia (Caucasus) – implications for reconstructing regional paleovegetation [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2018 Long-chain n-alkanes originate from leaf waxes of higher terrestrial plants, they are relatively resistant against physical and chemical degradation and are preserved in sediment archives for at least millennial timescales.
