Characterization of the molecular foundations and biochemistry of alkane and ether oxidation in a filamentous fungus, a Graphium species.

Creator:

Skinner, Kristin M.

Abstract:

Graphium sp., a eukaryotic alkanotroph, is able to oxidize small-molecular weight gaseous n-alkanes, diethyl ether and the branched ether, methyl tert butyl ether (MTBE). However, information regarding the biochemistry of fungal-mediated alkane and ether metabolism is limited, and questions regarding the identity of alkane oxidation catalysts and the genetic underpinnings...

Cooxidation by three butane-grown bacteria and mechanism-based inactivation of butane monooxygenase

Creator:

Storfa, Ryan T.

Abstract:

Butane-grown cells of Pseudomonas butanovora, Nocardioides sp. CF8 and Mycobacterium vaccae JOB5 were tested for their ability to cooxidize methane, ammonia and ethylene. Less than 10 nmol of methane were degraded by each of the bacteria (0.17-0.35 mg protein) in 30 minutes. Hydroxylamine and nitrite accumulated when Nocardioides CF8 and...
