Abstract excerpt
Degradation of long-chain alkanes by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 involves rubredoxin and rubredoxin reductase. We complemented a mutant deficient in alkane utilization and sequenced four open reading frames (ORFs) on the complementing DNA. Each of these ORFs was disrupted by insertional mutagenesis on the chromosome. As determined from sequence comparisons, ORF1 and ORF4 seem to encode a rotamase of the PpiC...
