In this work, mutants of the thermophilic and alkane-degrader bacterium, Thermus sp. ATN1, were constructed. Long chain n-alkanes were converted constitutively by these mutants to long-chain aldehyde intermediates, mono- and dicarboxylic acids, presumably via over-oxidation of the alcohol products. In addition, the characterization of a biosurfactant produced by this strain and its application as hydrocarbon bioavailability enhancer are described.
