Applications of BBa_M50004
BBa_M50004 contains the alkB1 protein (ABO_2707) originating in the bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis. It is meant to be used in conjunction with BBa_M50005 (alkG protein, ABO_2708) and other enzymes from A. borkumensis to degrade alkanes measuring up to 32 carbons as part of A. borkumensis' digestive process.
