-Alkane Assimilation by and Its Interactions with Virulence and Antibiotic Resistance.

strains with potential for degrading -alkanes are frequently cultured from hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. The initial hydroxylation step of long-chain -alkanes is mediated by the chromosomally encoded AlkB1 and AlkB2 alkane hydroxylases. The acquisition of an additional GPo1-like alkane hydroxylase gene cluster can extend the substrate range assimilated by to
