Generalization of Classification of AlkB Family Alkane Monooxygenases from () Group Based on Phylogenetic Analysis and Genomic Context Comparison.

Alkane-oxidizing bacteria play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. species are well-known hydrocarbon degraders, distinguished by the harboring of multiple homologs of AlkB family alkane monooxygenases. Although different types of rhodococcal AlkBs have been described, the overall picture of their diversity remains unclear, leaving gaps in the current classification.
