Abstract:
1. Enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of aliphatic alcohols to aldehydes are reviewed. 2. Special attention is given to phenazine methosulphate-linked alcohol dehydrogenases from bacteria and to flavin-containing alcohol oxidases from yeasts, moulds and higher plants. 3. Some properties of the microsomal ethanol-oxidative system of rat liver are discussed.
