Study of the biodegradation of poly-branched alkanes by a marine bacterial community

A new mechanism of direct oxidation at the third carbon atom, previously described during the biodegradation of pristane by a marine bacterial community, has been confirmed on a compound which is α-disubstituted at both ends (2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane). This mechanism allows consideration of t...

Zusammenfassung:A new mechanism of direct oxidation at the third carbon atom, previously described during the biodegradation of pristane by a marine bacterial community, has been confirmed on a compound which is α-disubstituted at both ends (2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane). This mechanism allows consideration of the biodegradation of substrates said to be biologically recalcitrant.
