Diverse Bacterial Groups Contribute to the Alkane Degradation Potential of Chronically Polluted Subantarctic Coastal Sediments
(Springer, 2016-01)
We aimed to gain insight into the alkane degradation potential of microbial communities from chronically polluted sediments of a subantarctic coastal environment using a combination of metagenomic approaches. A total of ...
Oxidation of alkanes with m-chloroperbenzoic acid catalyzed by iron(III) chloride and a polydentate amine
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2004)
Correlation between initial biodegradability determined by docking studies and structure of alkylbenzene sulfonates: A new tool for intelligent design of environmentally friendly anionic surfactants
(Elsevier, 2020-08)
Gray water constitutes an important fraction of total wastewater. Some of the most problematic compounds in gray water are the anionic surfactants used as an ingredient for domestic and industrial soaps and detergents. The ...
Oily Bilge Wastes Harbor a Set of Persistent Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacteria Accompanied by a Variable alkB Gene Composition in Marine Vessel Samples from Southwestern Atlantic Port of Mar del Plata, Argentina
(Springer, 2021-07)
The present work provides the first knowledge about the diversity and functionality of the microorganisms occurring in oily bilge wastes, from the port of Mar del Plata, Argentina. We used a culture independent approach, ...
New alk genes detected in Antarctic marine sediments
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
Alkane monooxygenases (Alk) are the key enzymes for alkane degradation. In order to understand the dispersion and diversity of alk genes in Antarctic marine environments, this study analysed by clone libraries the presence ...
Oxidative stress in entomopathogenic fungi grown on insect-like hydrocarbons
(Springer, 2014-10)
Entomopathogenic fungi mostly attack their insect hosts by penetration through the cuticle. The outermost insect surface is covered by a lipid-rich layer, usually composed of very long chain hydrocarbons. These fungi are ...
Targeting of insect epicuticular lipids by entomopathogenic fungi: hydrocarbon oxidation within the context of a host-pathogen interaction
(Frontiers Media S. A, 2013-02-15)
Broad host range entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana attack insect hosts via attachment to cuticular substrata and the production of enzymes for the degradation and penetration of insect cuticle. The outermost ...
