Identification of novel genes involved in long-chain n-alkane degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain DSM 17874.
Acinetobacter sp. strain DSM 17874 is capable of utilizing n-alkanes with chain lengths ranging from that of decane (C10H22) to that of tetracontane (C40H82) as a sole carbon source. Two genes encoding AlkB-type alkane hydroxylase homologues, designated alkMa and alkMb, have been shown to be involved in the degradation of n-alkanes with chain lengths of from 10 to 20 C atoms in this strain. Her...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel long-chain n-alkane-degrading strain, Dietzia sp. E1.
The newly isolated strain E1, identified as a Dietzia sp., proved to have an excellent ability to degrade n-C12 to n-C38 alkane components of crude oil. The preferred substrate was the very long-chain alkane n-eicosane at an optimal temperature of 37 degrees C and an optimal pH of 8 under aerobic conditions. The growth and substrate uptake kinetics were monitored during the n-alkane fermentatio...
متن کاملLong-chain aldehyde dehydrogenase that participates in n-alkane utilization and wax ester synthesis in Acinetobacter sp. strain M-1.
A long-chain aldehyde dehydrogenase, Ald1, was found in a soluble fraction of Acinetobacter sp. strain M-1 cells grown on n-hexadecane as a sole carbon source. The gene (ald1) was cloned from the chromosomal DNA of the bacterium. The open reading frame of ald1 was 1,512 bp long, corresponding to a protein of 503 amino acid residues (molecular mass, 55,496 Da), and the deduced amino acid sequenc...
متن کاملbenK encodes a hydrophobic permease-like protein involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1.
The chromosomal benK gene was identified within a supraoperonic gene cluster involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, and benK was expressed in response to a benzoate metabolite, cis,cis-muconate. The disruption of benK reduced benzoate uptake and impaired the use of benzoate or benzaldehyde as the carbon source. BenK was homologous to several aromatic compound transpo...
متن کاملEnhanced phenol degradation by immobilized Acinetobacter sp. strain AQ5NOL 1.
A locally isolated Acinetobacter sp. Strain AQ5NOL 1 was encapsulated in gellan gum and its ability to degrade phenol was compared with the free cells. Optimal phenol degradation was achieved at gellan gum concentration of 0.75% (w/v), bead size of 3 mm diameter (estimated surface area of 28.26 mm(2)) and bead number of 300 per 100 ml medium. At phenol concentration of 100 mg l(-1), both free a...
