摘要 |
Provided is a nucleic acid molecule comprising the sequence is set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, the corresponding protein sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, and variants and functional fragments thereof. Corresponding chimeric genes, vectors and microorganisms are also provided. The protein has a role in the degradation of long-chain n-alkanes and can be used to modify the properties of long-chain n- alkane containing substrates. Methods of using the protein of the invention, e.g. to cause degradation of long-chain n-alkanes are also provided, as are methods of identifying enzymes that are required for the metabolism of a substrate. |
