Abstract
ABSTRACT
A mutant
Rhodococcus
strain lacking the ability to utilize 1-chlorohexadecane was found to
cis
-desaturate aliphatic compounds, such as 1-chlorohexadecane,
n
-hexadecane, and heptadecanonitrile, yielding corresponding products with a double bond mainly at the ninth carbon from the terminal methyl groups. A new oxidative pathway involving the
cis
-desaturation step was suggested for alkane utilization by
Rhodococcus
spp.
