Mutants of E. coli (adh) in which alcohol dehydrogenase is derepressed under aerobic conditions also overproduced acetaldehyde CA dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde CA dehydrogenase was induced by ethanol or acetaldehyde and subject to strong catabolite repression, whereas alcohol dehydrogenase was little affected by these conditions. Mutants no longer able to use ethanol as C source were isolated from an adh strain. Some of these mutants were revertants at the adh locus and no longer produced either alcohol dehydrogenase or acetaldehyde CA dehydrogenase. Others, designated acd, were found to lack only acetaldehyde CA dehydrogenase. The acd mutation was located at min 62 of the E. coli genetic map, the gene order being thyA-lysA-acd-serA-fda. Isolation of Tn[transposon]10 insertions cotransducible with acd greatly simplified the mapping procedure.
