Abstract:
Metabolism of n-alkane mainly includes ?-oxidation pathway and ?-oxidation pathway in Candida tropicalis,which are both catalyzed by a series of enzymes. The transformation from n-alkane to fatty acid is accomplished via ?-oxidation pathway,and the degradation of fatty acid is involved in ?-oxidation pathway. The mechanism on metabolism of n-alkane and studies on related enzymes are summarized in the review. Furthermore,some molecular genetics and metabolic engineering techniques related to Candida tropicalis developed in recent years are introduced.
