Development of bioreporter assays for the detection of bioavailability of long chain alkanes based on the marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis strain SK2

Jeremy Samuel Arey, Rebecca Rutler

Long-chain alkanes are a major component of crude oil and therefore potentially good indicators of hydrocarbon spills. Here we present a set of new bacterial bioreporters and assays that allow to detect long-chain alkanes. These reporters are based on the ...
