Propane and n -Butane Oxidation by Pseudomonas putida GPo1

Erika L. Johnson, Michael R. Hyman

Abstract

Propane and n-butane inhibit methyl tertiary butyl ether oxidation by n-alkane-grown Pseudomonas putida GPo1. Here we demonstrate that these gases are oxidized by this strain and support cell growth. Both gases induced alkane hydroxylase activity and appear to be oxidized by the same enzyme system used for the oxidation of n-octane.
