Abstract excerpt
Butane monooxygenase (BMO) catalyses the oxidation of alkanes to alcohols in the alkane-utilizing bacterium 'Pseudomonas butanovora'. Incubation of alkane-grown 'P. butanovora' with butyrate or propionate led to irreversible time- and O2-dependent loss of BMO activity. In contrast, BMO activity w...
