<em>Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus</em> as a member of the acetic acid bacteria group, oxidize alcohol to acetic acid through two sequential reactions catalyzed by the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and the aldehyde dehydrogenase, both enzymes are membrane-bound and oriented to the periplasmic space. ADH is a quinohemoprotein carrying one pyrroloquinoline quinone moiety, one [2Fe:2S] cluster and four c-type cytochromes, as prosthetic groups. In recent years has been described the presence of the inactive ADH (ADHi) in the acetic acid bacteria. In the present review we make a comparative study of the molecular and catalytic properties of the active and inactive forms of ADH purified from <em>G. diazotrophicus</em>, variation in the redox state of enzymes <em>as purified </em>could explain the notorious differences seen in the activity power of the compared enzymes.

ABSTRACT Several aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) complexes have been purified from the membranes of acetic acid bacteria. The enzyme structures and the chemical nature of the prosthetic groups associated with these enzymes remain a matter of debate. We report here on the molecular and catalytic properties of the membrane-bound ALDH complex of the diazotrophic bacterium Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus. The purified ALDH complex is a heterodimer comprising two subunits of 79.7 and 50 kDa, respectively. Reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy led us to demonstrate, for the first time, the unequivocal presence of a pyrroloquinoline quinone prosthetic group associated with an ALDH complex from acetic acid bacteria. In addition, heme b was detected by UV-visible light (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and confirmed by reversed-phase HPLC. The smaller subunit bears three cytochromes c. Aliphatic aldehydes, but not formaldehyde, were suitable substrates. Using ferricyanide as an electron acceptor, the enzyme showed an optimum pH of 3.5 that shifted to pH 7.0 when phenazine methosulfate plus 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol were the electron acceptors. Acetaldehyde did not reduce measurable levels of the cytochrome b and c centers; however, the dithionite-reduced hemes were conveniently oxidized by ubiquinone-1; this finding suggests that cytochrome b and the cytochromes c constitute an intramolecular redox sequence that delivers electrons to the membrane ubiquinone.
