Escherichia coli mutants with a temperature-sensitive alcohol dehydrogenase

W Lorowitz et al. J Bacteriol. 1982 Nov.

Abstract

Mutants of Escherichia coli resistant to allyl alcohol were selected. Such mutants were found to lack alcohol dehydrogenase. In addition, mutants with temperature-sensitive alcohol dehydrogenase activity were obtained. These mutations, designated adhE, are all located at the previously described adh regulatory locus. Most adhE mutants were also defective in acetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity.
