Abstract excerpt
Gluconobacter oxydans IFO12528 is able to produce glyceric acid (GA) from glycerol through the action of a membrane-bound alcohol dehydrogenase (mADH), which is required for GA production. To determine whether membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase (mALDH) also plays a role in GA production in G. oxydans, we constructed an aldH-disrupted mutant of G. oxydans (ΔaldH). ΔaldH was unable to produce acetic acid from...
