Abstract
Four species of Streptomyces showed no or extremely slow and poor growth with the hydrocarbon as sole carbon source. They oxidize n-tetradecane by subterminal attack, two of them additionally by terminal attack, as determined by examination of the extracellular oxidation products. It is suggested that the organisms degrade the alkane mainly by cooxidation.
