Abstract excerpt
In Aspergillus nidulans there are three NAD(+)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) that are capable of utilizing ethanol as a substrate. ADHI is the physiological enzyme of ethanol catabolism and ADHIII is induced under conditions of anaerobiosis. The physiological role of ADHII (structural gene alcB) is unknown. We have measured beta-galactosidase in a transformant with an alcB::lacZ fusion and have shown...
