Abstract
Ammonia monooxygenase of Nitrosomonas europaea catalyzes the oxidation of alkanes (up to C 8 ) to alcohols and alkenes (up to C 5 ) to epoxides and alcohols in the presence of ammonium ions. Straight-chain, N-terminal alkynes (up to C 10 ) all exhibited a time-dependent inhibition of ammonia oxidation without effects on hydrazine oxidation.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
