Abstract
Archaeoglobus fulgidus oxidizes fatty acids (C 4 to C 18 ) and n -alk-1-enes (C 12:1 to C 21:1 ) in the presence of thiosulfate as a terminal electron acceptor. End products of metabolism were CO 2 and sulfide. Growth on perdeuterated hexadecene yielded C 15 - to C 17 -labeled fatty acids as metabolites, thus confirming the ability of A. fulgidus to oxidize alkyl chains.Keywords
