Biochemical, molecular and physiological characterization of 1-butanol dehydrogenases of Pseudomonas butanovora in butane and 1-butanol metabolism

Creator:

Vangnai, Alisa S.

Abstract:

Butane-grown Pseudomonas butanovora oxidized butane by a soluble butane monooxygenase through the terminal pathway yielding 1 -butanol as the predominant product. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) involved in butane oxidation in P. butanovora were purified and characterized at the biochemical, genetic and physiological levels. Butane-grown P. butanovora expressed a type I soluble...
