Characterization of <i>Thermotoga neapolitana</i> Alcohol Dehydrogenases in the Ethanol Fermentation Pathway

Hyperthermophilic <i>Thermotoga</i> spp. are candidates for cellulosic ethanol fermentation. A bifunctional iron-acetaldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenase (Fe-AAdh) has been revealed to catalyze the acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA) reduction to form ethanol via an acetaldehyde intermediate in <i>Therm...
