Metabolism of n-butane and 2-butanone by Mycobacterium vaccae

W E Phillips Jr et al. J Bacteriol. 1974 Nov.

Abstract

n-Butane was metabolized in Mycobacterium vaccae (JOB5) via terminal oxidation. This organism metabolized 2-butanone through propionate (or propionyl coenzyme A). Subterminal oxidation in M. vaccae was apparently limited to propane.
