Microbial oxidation of isoprenoid hydrocarbons. Part VI. Microbial oxidation of isoprenoid hydrocarbon, 1-pristene.

Microbial hydrocarbon co-oxidation. I. Oxidation of mono- and dicyclic hydrocarbons by soil isolates of the genus Nocardia.

Nocardia cultures, isolated from soil by use of n-paraffins as the sole carbon source, have been shown to bring about significant oxidation of several methyl-substituted mono- and dicyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Oxygen uptake by washed cell suspensions was not a reliable indicator of oxidation. Under co-oxidation conditions in shaken flasks, o- and p-xylenes were oxidized to their respective mo...

The Microbial Oxidation of Methanol

Several bacteria are known which are capable of growth with methanol or certain other C, compounds as sole source of carbon and energy (Peel & Quayle, 1961), but little is known about the enzymes involved in the oxidation of methanol (Quayle, 1961). It has been suggested (Dworkin & Foster, 1956; Leadbetter & Foster, 1958; Harrington & Kallio, 1960; Kaneda & Roxburgh, 1959b) that methanol oxidat...
