Anaerobic Degradation of Hexadecan-2-one by a Microbial Enrichment Culture under Sulfate-Reducing Conditions

ABSTRACT A microbial enrichment culture from marine sediment was able to grow on hexadecan-2-one as the sole source of carbon and energy under sulfate-reducing conditions. Oxidation of the ketone involved carboxylation reactions and was coupled to sulfide production. This enrichment culture also grew on 6,10,14-trimethylpentadecan-2-one.
