Biodegradation of n-alkylcyclohexanes by co-oxidation via multiple pathways in Acinetobacter sp. ODDK71

The degradation of alkylcyclohexane by Acinetobacter sp. ODDK71 was investigated. Strain ODDK71 degraded alkylcyclohexanes (alkyl side chain length of >_12) by co-metabolism when hexadecane was used as a growth substrate. GGMS analysis of co-metabolized products from dodecylcyclohexane suggests t...

Summary:The degradation of alkylcyclohexane by Acinetobacter sp. ODDK71 was investigated. Strain ODDK71 degraded alkylcyclohexanes (alkyl side chain length of >_12) by co-metabolism when hexadecane was used as a growth substrate. GGMS analysis of co-metabolized products from dodecylcyclohexane suggests that strain ODDK71 degraded dodecylcyclohexane via a ring oxidation and an alkyl side chain oxidation pathways. The ring oxidation pathway of dodecylcyclohexane is a novel pathway of microbial degradation of dodecylcyclohexane.
