Phenotypes & Variants

Disruption phenotype

Mutants show a lower rate of biofilm formation on solid paraffin and on the liquid alkane n-hexadecane, while growth on nonalkane substrates was not affected. Planktonic growth on water-soluble substrates is not affected. Mutants are impaired in the assimilation of n-hexadecane solubilized in surfactant micelles.
