General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function degradation of n-alkanes in Rhodococcus opacus R7 with consumption rates of 88% for n-dodecane, 69% for n-hexadecane, 51% for n-eicosane and 78% for n-tetracosane. Expression of the AlkB gene in Rhodococcus erythropolis leads to increased biodegradation of n-dodecane Rhodococcus opacus
