Results presented for the aliphatic hydrocarbon-water interface show that the recent hypothesis of the free energy minimization called interfacial interaction rule, which was suggested as a theoretical base of the Antonow rule, cannot be generally valid.

The chloromethyl group (—CH2Cl) attached to a normal hydrocarbon chain gives rise to two characteristic Raman bands near 660 and 730 cm−1. The band at 660 cm−1, which is very intense, is assigned to a stretching mode of the C-Cl linkage when the chlorine atom is trans to a hydrogen atom. The less intense peak at 730 cm−1 is assigned to the same mode of the rotational isomer with the chlorine atom trans to a carbon atom. These assignments are consistent with those reported in infrared studies. In contrast to almost equal intensities for both bands in the infrared, the band at 660 cm−1 proved to be the strongest by far in Raman spectra.

A significant proportion of the naturally occurring hydrocarbon-degrading populations within Alaskan sediments affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill had both the xylE and alkB genes and could convert hexadecane and naphthalene to carbon dioxide; a greater proportion of the population had xylE than had alkB, reflecting the composition of the residual oil at the time of sampling; nearly equal populations with xylE alone, alkB alone, and xylE + alkB genes together were found after exposure to fresh crude oil; populations with xylE lacking alkB increased after enrichment on naphthalene. Thus, the genotypes of hydrocarbon-degrading populations reflected the composition of the hydrocarbons to which they were exposed.Key words: hydrocarbon biodegradation, aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation, aliphatic hydrocarbon biodegradation, alkB, xylE.
