Abstract excerpt
In the long-chain dicarboxylic acids (DCA)-hyperproducing mutant Candida maltosa strains, methyl-ends of n-alkanes and fatty acids are hydroxylated by n-alkane inducible cytochromes P450 (P450alk), presumably as an essential step in DCA production. A significantly higher production of P450alks was observed in response to n-alkane in the DCA-hyperproducing mutant strain M2030 than in the wild-type strain 1098....
