Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
Arthrobacter nivea KCC B35, isolated from densely packed blue-green cushions on oil deposits along the Arabian Gulf coast, exhibits excellent growth using C10 to C40 n-alkanes as its sole carbon and energy source. Its growth on C20 to C40 alkanes is even superior to that on C10 to C18 alkanes. After co-culturing biomass samples with n-octacosane (C28) or n-nonacosane (C29) for 6 hours, these compounds became the major constituent alkanes of the cell's hydrocarbon composition. Even-chain hexadecane (C16) and odd-chain pentadecane (C15) were the second-largest constituent alkanes in C28 and C29 cultured cells, respectively. Cells incubated with n-hexadecane accumulated a higher proportion of C16 fatty acids in their lipids compared to control cells not incubated with hydrocarbon compounds. On the other hand, no fatty acids with the same chain length were detected in cells incubated with C28 and C29, but the fatty acid profile of the cellular lipids indicated that these ultra-long-chain alkanes may have undergone medium-chain oxidation. This activity makes Agrobacterium tumefaciens KCC B35 suitable for use in formulations for the bioremediation of heavy oil sediment-contaminated environments. Liver, heart, kidney, muscle, and adipose tissue (perilenatal and subcutaneous) were collected from six cattle for hydrocarbon composition analysis. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Although the proportions varied, a range of n-alkanes with carbon chain lengths ranging from n-C12 to n-C31 were found in all samples. Isoprene hydrocarbons phytane and phyene (phytane-1 and phyene-2) were also identified. (These findings are relevant to human health from consuming hydrocarbon-contaminated meat.) /n-Alkanes/ |

| Additional Infomation |
Tetracosane is a crystalline, waxy solid, insoluble in water, used in organic synthesis. Tetracosane is a straight-chain alkane containing 24 carbon atoms, and is a plant metabolite and volatile oil component. It has been reported to exist in Vanilla madagascariensis, Magnolia officinalis, and other organisms with relevant data. See also: Moringa leaf oil (partial).

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

Injection Formulation 4: DMSO : 20% SBE-β-CD in saline = 10 : 90 [i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL (20% SBE-β-CD in saline)] Oral Formulations
Oral Formulation 1: Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na (carboxymethylcellulose sodium) Oral Formulation 2: Suspend in 0.5% Carboxymethyl cellulose Example: Take the Oral Formulation 1 (Suspend in 0.5% CMC Na) as an example, if 100 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can first prepare 0.5% CMC Na solution by measuring 0.5 g CMC Na and dissolve it in 100 mL ddH2O to obtain a clear solution; then add 250 mg of the product to 100 mL 0.5% CMC Na solution, to make the suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

| Preparing Stock Solutions | 1 mg | 5 mg | 10 mg | |
| 1 mM | 2.9529 mL | 14.7645 mL | 29.5290 mL | |
| 5 mM | 0.5906 mL | 2.9529 mL | 5.9058 mL | |
| 10 mM | 0.2953 mL | 1.4765 mL | 2.9529 mL |
*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
