Abstract

A 2, 5-dimethylhexane (2, 5-DMH) assimilating bacterial strain, identified as Rhodococcus sp. and some Mycobacterium species, catalyzed the asymmetric oxidation of the isopropyl moiety of hydrocarbons. The 2, 5-DMH-grown Rhodococcus sp. strain 11B produced (-)-2, 5-dimethylhexanoic acid from 2, 5-DMH, and (S)-2-phenylpropionic acid and (R)-2-phenyl-1-propanol from cumene. The biodegradability of isoalkanes, which have various branching patterns, using this strain is also discussed.
