Abstract excerpt
High NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity was found in the cytoplasm when a membrane-bound, quinoprotein, ADH-deficient mutant strain of Acetobacter pasteurianus SKU1108 was grown on ethanol. Two NAD-dependent ADHs were separated and purified from the supernatant fraction of the cells. One (ADH I) is a trimer, consisting of an identical subunit of 42 kDa, while the other (ADH II) is a homodimer,...
