Kachholz, T. published the artcileDegradation of long chain alkanes by bacilli. II. Metabolic pathways, Synthetic Route of 58783-82-7, the main research area is Bacillus alkane metabolism temperature.
Five species of bacilli tested at 30° degraded hydrocarbons by cooxidn. A subterminal degradation pathway in these bacilli was proved by the presence of isomeric esters (like the products of Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones), diols, ketols, and diketones. The composition of fatty acids in the lipids of bacilli grown with and without alkane and with position of fatty acids in the lipids of bacilli grown with and without alkane and with labeled n-tridecane suggested a subterminal, partly di-subterminal, pathway. Bacillus stearothermophilus did not grow on alkane as the sole C source even in a thermophilic temperature range; oxidation products were formed in amounts 20-fold less when grown on cooxidn. medium at 50°, compared to product formation on the same medium at 30°.
European Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology published new progress about Diketones. 58783-82-7 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 5-Tridecanol, and the molecular formula is C13H28O, Synthetic Route of 58783-82-7.
