Abstract excerpt
The utilization of ethanol via acetate by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the presence of the enzyme acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase (acetyl-CoA synthetase), which catalyzes the activation of acetate to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). We have isolated a mutant, termed acr1, defective for...
