Oxygen is not only a physiological requirement, but serves as a reactant in the hydroxylation of both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons via monooxygenase and dioxygenase enzymes. (wikipedia.org)
CouC, a new member from the group A flavin monooxygenase, was heterologously expressed and purified, catalyzing the hydroxylation of MA to produce 3-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)propionate (DHPP). (bvsalud.org)
Organic2
It has also been shown that AK-01 uses not only alkanes but also 1-alkenes, 1-alkanols, fatty acids and other organic acids as carbon substrates. (wikipedia.org)

Environmental1
In the absence of high temperatures, high pressures, metal catalysts or UV light, biotransformation plays the dominant role in environmental alkane degradation. (wikipedia.org)
Chemical1
S pilled oil is transported, and its composition and character altered, by a variety of physical, chemical, and biological processes ( Figure 4-1 ). (nationalacademies.org)
Fate1
FIGURE 4-1 Major open-ocean oil fate and transport processes. (nationalacademies.org)
Variety1
Heat and pressure lead to the formation of a wide variety of hydrocarbons, including alkanes, alkenes, and cyclic/polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can seep into aquatic environments. (wikipedia.org)
Analysis1
1999). Analysis of labeled and fully deuterated metabolites shows that AK-01 activates n-alkanes via fumarate addition to the subterminal carbon using alkylsuccinate synthase. (wikipedia.org)
