Rhodococcus erythropolis PR4 is an alkane-degrading bacterium, which grows well in media containing high concentrations of alkanes with translocating to them. These properties give the organism potential in the bioremediation of various environments contaminated by alkanes. In this study, we report the translocation of R. erythropolis PR4 from an aqueous phase to an alkane phase during growth in a two phase culture medium to understand the translocation of PR4 to the alkanes.
