HAMAP: Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans (strain AK-01) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans (strain AK-01)
Species code: DESAA
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Desulfobacterales; Desulfobacteraceae; Desulfatibacillum (TaxID: 439235) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Desulfatibacillum alkenivorans AK-01, an alkene-degrading, sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated from estuarine sediment in the Arthur Kill, a tidal strait, in New Jersey, USA. This heavily used marine channel provides access for ocean-going container ships to Port Newark and to industrial facilities along the channel itself, and thus is probably fairly polluted.

It is an anaerobic mesophilic sulfate-reducer that utilizes C13 to C18 alkanes, 1-alkenes (C15 and C16) and 1-alkanols (C15 and C16) as growth substrates. It activates alkanes via subterminal addition of the alkane to fumarate. It provides and interesting comparison to Desulfococcus oleovorans (strain DSM 6200 / Hxd3) (DESOH) which degrades alkanes via a different mechanism than fumarate addition (adapted from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/desa1/desa1.home.html).
