ABSTRACT Encystment in Azotobacter vinelandii is induced byn-butanol or β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). We identified a gene, encoding an aldehyde dehydrogenase, that was namedaldA. An aldA mutation impaired bacterial growth on n-butanol, ethanol, or hexanol as the sole carbon source. Expression of aldA increased in cells shifted from sucrose to n-butanol and was shown to be dependent on the alternative ς54 factor. A mutation in rpoNencoding the ς54 factor also impaired growth on alcohols. Encystment on n-butanol, but not on BHB, was impaired inaldA or rpoN mutants, indicating thatn-butanol is not an inducer of encystment by itself but must be catabolized in order to induce encystment.
