New alk genes detected in Antarctic marine sediments.

Environmental microbiology - 1 Mar 2009

Kuhn Emanuele, Bellicanta Giovani Sebben, Pellizari Vivian Helena

Abstract excerpt

Alkane monooxygenases (Alk) are the key enzymes for alkane degradation. In order to understand the dispersion and diversity of alk genes in Antarctic marine environments, this study analysed by clone libraries the presence and diversity of alk genes (alkB and alkM) in sediments from Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Peninsula Antarctica. The results show a differential distribution of alk genes between the...
