| Abstract: | Summary An alcohol dehydrogenase specific for NADP as coenzyme and with a pH optimum of 10.2 has been partially purified from the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodomicrobium vannielii. With the exception of methan-1-ol, primary straight chain alcohols up to eight carbon atoms were active, highest rates being obtained with butan-1-ol. Substrate specificity was examined by both enzymic rate determination and Km value measurement. The alcohol dehydrogenase described was constitutive. |
