  1.14.13.229 | physiological function |
degradation of tert-butyl alcohol leads to formation of isobutene. Both tert-alkyl alcohol degradation and alkene production are strictly oxygen dependent, the relative contribution of the dehydration reaction to total alcohol conversion increases with decreasing oxygen concentrations |

| 1.14.13.229 | physiological function |
MdpJ knockout mutants are not able to grow on the tertiary alcohols tert-butanol and tert-amyl alcohol, whereas 2-methylpropan-1,2-diol, the putative product of tert-butanol hydroxylation by MdpJ catalysis can still be used as the sole source of energy and carbon. The postulated 2-methylpropan-1,2-diol intermediate 2-hydroxyisobutanoate is metabolized by wild-type and mutant strains at the same rates |

Mycobacterium austroafricanum grows on methyl tert-butyl ether, on tert-butyl alcohol , and also grows on a broad range of n-alkanes (C2 to C16) |
