Saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) belong to the chemically least reactive organic compounds, but are nevertheless used by diverse microorganisms. Whereas biodegradation of alkanes with oxygen has been ...
Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons, formerly ...
Scientists characterize novel enzymes from deep-sea microbes with a key function in the ethane degradation process, revealing surprises in the metabolism of these organisms. Seeps on the deep seafloor ...
Seeps on the deep seafloor naturally emit alkanes, which are pollutants that are potentially dangerous to life and act on global warming. Fortunately, the sediments around the seeps host microbes that ...
