  • Title: Biosynthesis of pyocyanine by a paraffin hydrocarbon-oxidizing strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
    Author: Lee EG, Walden CC.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol; 1969 Apr; 17(4):520-3. PubMed ID: 4977219.
    Abstract:
    A paraffin-oxidizing bacterium, designated as Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATS-14, was isolated from soil samples obtained from the Athabasca "tar sands." This strain utilized kerosene as the only carbon source of energy and produced a high concentration of pyocyanine in the culture medium. Aromatic carbons were not attacked, but C(10) to C(17)n-alkanes were readily oxidized by the pseudomonad and formed pyocyanine. The highest yield of the pigment was obtained from hexadecane and heptadecane.
