Acetic acid fermentation is widely considered a consequence of ethanol oxidation by two membrane-bound enzymes—alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)—of acetic acid bacteria. Here, we used a markerless gene disruption method to construct a mutant of theAcetobacter pasteurianusstrain SKU1108 with a deletion in thealdHgene, which encodes the large catalytic subunit of a heterotrimeric ALDH complex (AldFGH), to examine the role of AldFGH in acetic acid fermentation. The ΔaldHstrain grew less on ethanol-containing medium, i.e., acetic acid fermentation conditions, than the wild-type strain and significantly accumulated acetaldehyde in the culture medium. Unexpectedly, acetaldehyde oxidase activity levels of the intact ΔaldHcells and the ΔaldHcell membranes were similar to those of the wild-type strain, which might be attributed to an additional ALDH isozyme (AldSLC). The apparentKMvalues of the wild-type and ΔaldHmembranes for acetaldehyde were similar to each other, when the cells were cultured in nonfermentation conditions, where ΔaldHcells grow as well as the wild-type cells. However, the membranes of the wild-type cells grown under fermentation conditions showed a 10-fold lower apparentKMvalue than those of the cells grown under nonfermentation conditions. Under fermentation conditions, transcriptional levels of a gene for AldSLC were 10-fold lower than those under nonfermentation conditions, whereasaldHtranscript levels were not dramatically changed under the two conditions. We suggest thatA. pasteurianusSKU1108 has two ALDHs, and the AldFGH complex is indispensable for acetic acid fermentation and is the major enzyme under fermentation conditions.
