Gordonia alkanivorans explained

Gordonia alkanivorans is a bacterium from the genus of Gordonia which has been isolated from soil which was contaminated with tar and phenol in Rositz in Germany.^{[1] [2]} Gordonia alkanivorans has the ability to metabolize hexadecane.^[3] The strain RIPI90A of Gordonia alkanivorans can desulfurize dibenzothiophene.^[4]
