Metabolite Identification
Common NamePropane
DescriptionPropane, also known as CH3-CH2-CH3 or E944, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alkanes. These are acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2 , and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms. Propane is produced as a by-product of two other processes, natural gas processing and petroleum refining. Isotopic evidence suggests that some amounts of propane can be produced by microbial communities in the deep ocean floor (PMID:16990430 ).
