Transport of n-alkanes across the cell membrane was accompanied by the partitioning of substantial amounts of hydrocarbon on to the cell surface. Metabolic inhibitors significantly reduced uptake rates. Most [14C]dodecane was taken up by dodecane-grown mycelia; slower uptake was observed with mycelia grown on other n-alkanes or glucose. Uptake of dodecane was not restricted to specific regions of the mycelium, although higher concentrations of 14C-labelled compounds were observed at the hyphal tips. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-129-7-2301
