Unique alcohol dehydrogenases involved in algal sugar utilization by marine bacteria

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2023
Abstract Marine algae produce complex polysaccharides, which can be degraded by marine heterotrophic bacteria utilizing carbohydrate-active enzymes. The red algal polysaccharide porphyran contains the methoxy sugar 6-O-methyl-d-galactose (G6Me).

Extended superfamily of short alcohol-polyol-sugar dehydrogenases: structural similarities between glucose and ribitol dehydrogenases [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1984
The recently determined primary structure of glucose dehydrogenase from Bacillus megaterium was scanned by computerized comparisons for similarities with known polyol and alcohol dehydrogenases. The results revealed a highly significant similarity between this glucose dehydrogenase and ribitol dehydrogenase from Klebsiella aerogenes.

Comprehensive Comparative Genomics and Phenotyping of Methylobacterium Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs (PPFMs), a major bacterial group found in the plant phyllosphere, comprise two genera: Methylobacterium and Methylorubrum. They have been separated into three major clades: A, B (Methylorubrum), and C.

Crystal structure and functional characterization of an oligosaccharide dehydrogenase from Pycnoporus cinnabarinus provides insights into fungal breakdown of lignocellulose

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Fungal glucose dehydrogenases (GDHs) are FAD-dependent enzymes belonging to the glucose-methanol-choline oxidoreductase superfamily. These enzymes are classified in the “Auxiliary Activity” family 3 (AA3) of the Carbohydrate-Active enZymes ...

Production of bio-xylitol from d-xylose by an engineered Pichia pastoris expressing a recombinant xylose reductase did not require any auxiliary substrate as electron donor

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Background Xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol that has numerous beneficial health properties. It has almost the same sweetness as sucrose but has lower energy value compared to the sucrose.

Changes in Soluble Sugar, Starch, and Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Arabidopsis thaliana Exposed to N2 Diluted Atmospheres [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 1997
Proper exchange of atmospheric gases is important for normal root and shoot metabolism in plants. This study was conducted to determine how restricted air supply affects foliar carbohydrates, while using the marker enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) to report on the oxygenation status of the rootzone.

Membrane-bound Sugar Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Acetic Acid Bacteria catalyzes L-Ribulose Formation and NAD-Dependent Ribitol Dehydrogenase is Independent of the Oxidative Fermentation [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2001
To identify the enzyme responsible for pentitol oxidation by acetic acid bacteria, two different ribitol oxidizing enzymes, one in the cytosolic fraction of NAD(P)-dependent and the other in the membrane fraction of NAD(P)-independent enzymes, were examined with respect to oxidative fermentation.

Proteome analysis of xylose metabolism in Rhodotorula toruloides during lipid production

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Rhodotorula toruloides is a promising platform organism for production of lipids from lignocellulosic substrates. Little is known about the metabolic aspects of lipid production from the lignocellolosic sugar xylose by oleaginous yeasts in ...

Engineering a cyanobacterium as the catalyst for the photosynthetic conversion of CO₂ to 1,2-propanediol

Microbial Cell Factories, 2013
Background The modern society primarily relies on petroleum and natural gas for the production of fuels and chemicals. One of the major commodity chemicals 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PDO), which has an annual production of more than 0.5 million tons in the ...

Gametophytic Variant of Alcohol Dehydrogenase ADH-P in Sugar Beet: Inheritance and Influence on Pseudo-Compatibility [PDF]

Hereditas, 2004
A gametophytic variant ADH-P (alcohol dehydrogenase in pollen) was found in one plant in the sugar beet inbred line C257c. It was found only in developing and mature pollen, attempts failed to find it in other tissues. Rather than as an independent protein, ADH-P appeared as a variant of the ADH protein, accompanying the main proteins ADH1-FF and ADH1 ...
