Disease relevance of octacosane

Psychrotrophic strain Q15, identified as a Rhodococcus sp., also mineralized the C28 n-paraffin octacosane [1].
Uptake and utilization of n-octacosane and n-nonacosane by Arthrobacter nicotianae KCC B35 [2].

High impact information on octacosane

The bacterium grew in minimal medium amended with n-alkane members of hydrocarbons, n-dodecane (C12H26), n-hexadecane (C16H34), n-octadecane (C18H38), n-octacosane (C28H58); and petroleum fractions such as crude oil and lubricating oil when provided as sole carbon and energy source [3].
