Abstract

Comparison of cell-free extracts of Acinetobacter isolates which accumulated PHB, with isolates which did not, revealed the presence of β-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase only in PHB accumulating isolates. One of these enzymes had a specific requirement for NAD and was inhibited by high substrate concentrations as well as NADH, acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetic acid.
