Alkane degradation mechanism of Mixta calida HXX308 isolated from sediment of the Mariana Trench

The Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest site in the ocean, contains rich deposits of n-alkanes in its sediments. However, the alkane metabolic processes of the bacteria in this extreme environment were not well understood. In this study, we isolated a strain Mixta calida HXX3...
