Abstract excerpt
Ethanol metabolism in Acinetobacter sp. is limited by the rate of acetate assimilation in a reaction catalyzed by acetyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1). Effects of ions (sodium, potassium, and magnesium), byproducts of ethanol and acetaldehyde oxidation (NADH and NADPH), and pantothenic acid on this enzyme have been studied (sodium, NADH, and NADPH inhibit acetyl-CoA synthetase; pantothenic acid, potassium, and...
