The catabolism of medium- and long-chain dicarboxylic acids.

The w-oxidation of fatty acids results in the formation of mediumand long-chain dicarboxylates. By this accessory metabolic pathway monocarboxylic acids are first converted into w-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids, a reaction catalysed by the microsomal mixed-oxidase function system (Pettersen, 1972). These intermediates are subsequently converted into w-oxomonocarboxylic acids and dicarboxylic acids...

Extension of Linear Isotherm Regularity to Long Chain Alkanes

In this work, we consider each normal alkane as a hypothetical mixtureof methyland methylene groups, in which the interaction potential of each pair is assumed to be the average effective pair potential. Then, the LIR equation of state (EOS) is extended for such a hypothetical mixture. Also, three basic compounds, namely, propane, n-butane and cyclohexane, are used to obtain the contributio...

Microbial Incorporation of Fatty Acids Derived from N-alkanes into Glycerides and Waxes.

When n-alkanes with 13 to 20 carbon atoms were fed to a Nocardia closely related to N. salmonicolor, the produced cellular triglycerides and aliphatic waxes invariably contained fatty acids with an even or an odd number of carbon atoms subject to this feature of the n-alkane substrate. Beta-oxidation and C(2) addition are both operative, as evidenced by the spectra of fatty acids incorporated i...

Microbial Oxidation of Gaseous Hydrocarbons: Production of Methylketones from Corresponding n-Alkanes by Methane-Utilizing Bacteria.

Cell suspensions of methane-utilizing bacteria grown on methane oxidized n-alkanes (propane, butane, pentane, hexane) to their corresponding methylketones (acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone). The product methylketones accumulated extracellularly. The rate of production of methylketones varied with the organism used for oxidation; however, the average rate of acetone, 2-butanone, 2-pe...

Enzymes involved in the anaerobic oxidation of n-alkanes: from methane to long-chain paraffins

Anaerobic microorganisms play key roles in the biogeochemical cycling of methane and non-methane alkanes. To date, there appear to be at least three proposed mechanisms of anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM). The first pathway is mediated by consortia of archaeal anaerobic methane oxidizers and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) via "reverse methanogenesis" and is catalyzed by a homolog of methyl-co...
