Potassium Ion Stimulation of Hydrocarbon Oxidation by a Soil Corynebacterium sp

THE oxidation of straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons by a soil Corynebacterium sp. has been described previously 1 . The present communication demonstrates that the rate of hydrocarbon oxidation by washed suspensions may be stimulated markedly by potassium ions, which, however, have little effect...

Zusammenfassung:THE oxidation of straight-chain aliphatic hydrocarbons by a soil Corynebacterium sp. has been described previously 1 . The present communication demonstrates that the rate of hydrocarbon oxidation by washed suspensions may be stimulated markedly by potassium ions, which, however, have little effect on the oxidation-rate of possible intermediates.
