Analysis of the interaction between bacterial cells and hydrocarbons in oil-degrading bacteria and its application to bioremediation.

红红红球菌PR4是一种烷烃降解细菌，在含有高浓度烷烃的培养基中生长良好，并向其转移。这些特性赋予了生物修复各种烷烃污染环境的潜力。在这项研究中，我们报道了红血球PR4在两相培养基中从水相到烷烃相的易位，以了解PR4向烷烃的易位。

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.
