Abstract excerpt
The presence of pyruvate decarboxylase activity has been demonstrated in Aspergillus nidulans, and a gene encoding a pyruvate decarboxylase has been isolated from this organism and physically characterized. The isolation of the pdcA gene in A. nidulans confirms the existence of the alcoholic fermentation pathway in this fungus, despite it being an obligate aerobic organism. Southern analysis showed that it is...
