Disease relevance of alkB

Specific primers and probes targeting alkane monooxygenase genes were derived from Pseudomonas putida ATCC 29347 (Pp alkB), Rhodococcus sp. strain Q15 (Rh alkB1, Rh alkB2), and Acinetobacter sp. ADP-1 (Ac alkM) [1].

High impact information on alkB

The alkane monooxygenase genes, Rh alkB1 and Rh alkB2, were the most frequently detected alk genes in both regions, while Pp alkB was not detected in Brazil soils [1].
