Isolates of Paecilomyces, Verticillium, Beauveria, and Penicillium species were tested for ability to metabolize a variety of n-alkylbenzenes. Minimum side chain lengths were required for metabolism of these substrates. These were C(4) for the Paecilomyces sp., C(8) for the Verticillium sp., and C(9) for the other two isolates. Growth on dodecylbenzene yielded benzoic and phenylacetic acids as transient intermediates, and these acids supported growth of the isolates.
对青霉属、枝孢属、白僵菌属和青霉素属的分离物进行了测试，以检测它们代谢各种正烷基苯的能力。这些底物的代谢需要最小的侧链长度。青霉属的代谢物需要 C(4)，枝孢属的代谢物需要 C(8)，而另外两种分离物需要 C(9)。十二烷基苯的生长产生苯甲酸和苯乙酸作为瞬态中间体，这些酸支持分离物的生长。
