The complete alk sequences of Rhodococcus erythropolis from Lake Baikal

Abstract: BackgroundRhodococci are bacteria able to degrade a wide range of hydrocarbons, including the alkanes present in crude oil, due to alk genes in their genomes.FindingsGenome sequencing of DNA from Rhodococcus erythropolis strain 4 (obtained from a deep-water bitumen mound) revealed four alk genes, and the predicted amino acid sequences coded by these genes were highly conserved, having sections up to 11 amino acid residues.ConclusionsObtained four genes from Rhodococcus erythropolis were similar to correspondin… Show more

“…n-alkanes account for up to 88 % of the volume in natural oil and petroleum products and can serve as an energy source for microorganisms capable of decomposing them (Van Bei len et al, 2003;Dedov et al, 2017). The detection of alkanmonooxygenase group genes was previously carried out for bacterial communities isolated from petroleum products, and the activity of strains against the degradation of various hydrocarbons, including n-alkanes, was shown (Likhoshvay et al, 2014;Lomakina et al, 2014).…”

“…The consumption of hydrophobic hydrocarbon substrates by R. erythropolis is accompanied by the synthesis of surface-active glycolipid compounds. It has been found that its genome contains alk -genes (alkanehydroxylases) responsible for the degradation of numerous n -alkanes [39].…”
