AlmA involved in the long-chain < em > n < /em > -alkane degradation pathway in < em > Acinetobacter baylyi < /em > ADP1 is a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase

In this study, we conducted a detailed characterization of AlmA in A. baylyi ADP1 and found that AlmA exhibits Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase activity, thus indicating the presence of a novel LC n-alkane biodegradation mechanism in strain ADP1.PMID:38168668 | DOI:10.1128/aem.01625-23
