Abstract excerpt
There are at least three alcohol dehydrogenases in Aspergillus nidulans. ADHII has been observed in polyacrylamide gels stained for ADH activity but, unlike ADHI and ADHIII, no physiological function has been attributed to it. This paper describes mutations that have been isolated from strains carrying a deletion in the structural gene for ADHI (alcA) and its adjacent positively-acting regulatory gene (alcR) that...
