Abstract
Five different species of bacilli tested at 30°C degrade hydrocarbons by cooxidation. Subterminal degradation pathway of these bacilli was proved by estimating isomeric esters, developed from Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of ketones, and also by finding diols, ketols, and diketones. Comparing the composition of fatty acids in lipids of bacilli grown with and without alkane as well as growing them on labeled n-tridecane suggested a subterminal, partly a di-subterminal pathway.
