Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 17933 growing aerobically on ethanol uses a pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent ethanol oxidation system. A mutant with an interrupted putative mqo gene, in which malate:quinone oxidoreductase (MQO), an enzyme involved in the citric acid cycle/glyoxylate cycle, was defective, showed a severe growth defect on ethanol and was unable to grow on acetate. Glucose, lactate, succinate or...
