2-Acetylalkanoic acids as a signature metabolic intermediate in anaerobic alkane hydroxylation. Fragment ions at m/z 130, 115, 101 are shown in red, [M-42] is shown in blue. a, 2-Acetylnonic acid detected in H88-21; b, 2-Acetyl undecanoic acid detected in Z3-25; c, 2-Acetyl dodecanoic acid detected in Z3-13; d, characteristic fragments of ethyl 2-acetylalkanoic acids
