Versatile transformations of hydrocarbons in anaerobic bacteria: substrate ranges and regio- and stereochemistry of activation reactions

Versatile transformations of hydrocarbons in anaerobic bacteria: substrate ranges and regio- and stereochemistry of activation reactions

Anaerobic metabolism of hydrocarbons proceeds either via addition to fumarate or by hydroxylation in various microorganisms, e.g. sulfate-reducing or denitrifying bacteria, which are specialized in utilizing n-alkanes or alkylbenzenes as growth substrates. General pathways for carbon assimilation an...
