The study has a far-reaching impact as the alkane oxidation process performed by this type of microorganism is a crucial element of the biological filter existing in marine seeps, preventing ...

Alkanes, an important component of fuels for combustion engines and an important class of urban trace gases, react via another reaction pathways than previously thought. These hydrocarbons ...

Complete hydrocarbon oxidation to CO2 and the preferential oxidation of 12C-enriched alkanes were observed with strain BuS5 and other cultures.

A promising new catalyst could transform selective oxidation processes for light alkanes, as reported by scientists at Science Tokyo. In a recent study, they developed an iron-oxide-based ...

This so-called anaerobic oxidation of alkanes is an important yet poorly understood microbial process. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and the Marum Center for Marine ...

To accomplish this objective, we will try to develop (1) efficient methods for the generation of such reactive oxyl-radical complexes using molecular oxygen, (2) catalytic systems equipped with an ...
