Impact of acetolactate synthase inactivation on 1,3-propanediol fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an important compound that is mainly used in industry for polymer production. Fermentation of 1,3-PDO from glycerol by Klebsiella pneumoniae is accompanied by formation of 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO) as one of the main byproduct.

Structure-Based Design of Acetolactate Synthase From Bacillus licheniformis Improved Protein Stability Under Acidic Conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Catabolic acetolactate synthase (cALS) plays a crucial role in the quality of liquor because of its ability to catalyze the synthesis of the endogenous precursor product α-acetolactate of the aromatic compound tetramethylpyrazine (TTMP) and acetoin ...

Insights Into Sequences of Viral and Bacterial Origin in the Metatranscriptome of Centaurea cyanus L. Susceptible and Resistant to Acetolactate Synthase (ALS)‐Inhibiting Herbicides [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMetatranscriptomic analysis of Centaurea cyanus revealed diverse plant‐associated viral and bacterial sequences in herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant biotypes. While novel partitiviruses occurred independently of resistance status, differences in bacterial community composition may suggest a potential role of the plant microbiome in responses to ...
