A denitrifying bacterium showing typical characteristics of Pseudomonas sp. (All) capable of growth on 1-heptadecene as the sole source of carbon and energy has been isolated from a hydrocarbon-polluted marine sediment by using classical enrichment techniques. The generation time for anaerobic growth on 1-heptadecene was 24 h, and the percentage of hydrocarbon degradation under anaerobic conditions ranged from 19 to 23%. The emulsifying capacity was observed and suggested that All cultivated anaerobically on heptadecene produced surface-active agents.

The pathway of anaerobic acetone degradation by the denitrifying bacterial strain BunN was studied by enzyme measurements in extracts of anaerobic acetone-grown cells. An ADP-and MgC12-dependent decarboxylation of acetoacetate was detected which could not be found in cell-free extracts of acetate-gr
Rhodopseudomonas capsulata can obtain energy for growth from light (anaerobically) and can also grow heterotrophically in darkness using alternative energy conversion modes, namely, aerobic respiration or an unusual type of anaerobic catabolism of sugars. Dark anaerobic growth with fructose as sole
