Abstract:
The isolates were found to show variations in and exhibit the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme activities which enable them to grow in the medium with high alcoholic content. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) refers to a family of enzymes which catalyze the reversible oxidation of primary or secondary alcohols to aldehydes or ketones respectively. They display a wide variety of substrate specificities and play an important role in a broad range of physiological processes.
