Metabolic characterization of alkane monooxygenases and the growth phenotypes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 33988 on hydrocarbons.

Abstract excerpt

There is a demand and widespread interest in evaluating microbial community structures and metabolic processes in hydrocarbon environments. The current work aims to detect microbial subgroups (phenotypic subsets) and their metabolic processes, such as substrate specificity and expression of niche-associated genes. In this study, we were able to discriminate different cell types in real time from a complex sample...
