Popis: | ETHANOL is known to be one of the end-products of sugar metabolism under fermentative conditions. It is also known that under certain conditions it can be utilized by plant tissues1–3. A number of enzymes have been described from various sources which can catalyse the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde (alcohol dehydrogenase, catalase) and of acetaldehyde to acetate (aldehyde dehydrogenase, xanthine oxidase)4. Some of these enzymes are rather widely distributed in living tissues. |
