The alk genes enable Pseudomonas oleovorans to utilize alkanes as sole carbon and energy source. Expression of the alk genes in P. oleovorans and in two Escherichia coli recombinants induced iron limitation in minimal medium cultures. Further investigation showed that the expression of the alkB gene

## Abstract __Alteration of the substrate specificity of thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)βdependent benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) by errorβprone PCR is described. Two mutant enzymes, L476Q and M365LβL461S, were identified that accept__ ortho__βsubstituted benzaldehyde derivatives as donor substrates
The recombinant cytoplasmic preparation of lysine : N 6 -hydroxlase catalyzes the conversion of L-lysine to its N 6 -hydroxy derivative when supplemented with the cofactors NADPH and FAD. A number of lysine analogs reflecting minor alterations in the inherent structural features of the amino acid as
