GC-MS hydrocarbon degradation profile data of SI8, a bacterium capable of degrading aromatics at low temperatures.

The ability of the psychrotrophic bacterium SI8 to grow and degrade aromatic hydrocarbons efficiently at low temperature is shown in this study. The robust growth of SI8 was demonstrated in jet fuel and an aromatic blend. The bacterium showed 2.

Toxicity and human health assessment of an alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) synthetic kerosene.

A toxicological investigation was conducted for alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) fuels intended as a 50:50 blend with petroleum-derived fuel Jet Propulsion (JP)-8. The ATJ synthetic paraffinic kerosene (SPK) fuel was produced by Gevo (Englewood CO) and derived either from biomass (bio) or non-biomass sources. All toxicity tests were performed with one or both ATJ fuels following addition of a standard additive package required for JP-8.

Toxicity and occupational exposure assessment for hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) alternative jet fuels.

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has pursued development of alternative fuels to augment or replace petroleum-based jet fuels.

A comprehensive multi-omics approach uncovers adaptations for growth and survival of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on n-alkanes.

Background: Examination of complex biological systems has long been achieved through methodical investigation of the system's individual components. While informative, this strategy often leads to inappropriate conclusions about the system as a whole. With the advent of high-throughput "omic" technologies, however, researchers can now simultaneously analyze an entire system at the level of molecule (DNA, RNA, protein, metabolite) and process (transcription, translation, enzyme catalysis).
