Abstract:
We report cloning and sequencing of a gene encoding a putative aldehyde dehydrogenase in Synechococcus sp. PCC7942. It was found that this phototrophic microorganism has a protein very similar to mammalian class-3 aldehyde dehydrogenases. A mutant strain lacking this gene was hypersensitive in growth to an aromatic aldehyde.
