NAD-linked aldehyde dehydrogenase for aerobic utilization of L-fucose and L-rhamnose by Escherichia coli.

Mutant analysis revealed that complete utilization of L-fucose and L-rhamnose by Escherichia coli requires the activity of a common NAD-linked aldehyde dehydrogenase which converts L-lactaldehyde to L-lactate. Mutations affecting this activity mapped to the ald locus at min 31, well apart from the fuc genes (min 60) encoding the trunk pathway for L-fucose dissimilation (as well as L-1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase) and the rha genes (min 88) encoding the trunk pathway for L-rhamnose dissimilation. Mutants that grow on L-1,2-propanediol as a carbon and energy source also depend on the ald gene product for the conversion of L-lactaldehyde to L-lactate.[1]
