TABLE 1.
Effect of allylthiourea on butane degradation by strain CF8 grown on various alkanes
| Growth substratea | Butane degradation rateb (nmol min−1 mg of protein−1)
|
|
|---|---|---|
| No additions | +ATU (200 μM) | |
| C4 | 30.8 ± 2.1 | <1.5 |
| C6 | 28.2 ± 5.1 | 3.0 ± 3.8 |
| C8 | 30.9 ± 4.9 | 6.4 ± 3.4 |
| C10 | 23.9 ± 1.9 | 7.5 ± 2.4 |
a
Butane was added as 50% (vol/vol [gas phase]) in the gas phase as an overpressure. Liquid alkanes were added to a total amount of 500 μmol.
b
Data are expressed as experimental means ± standard deviations.
