Characterization of iron- and zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenases from anaerobic hyperthermophiles

Hyperthermophiles are microorganisms that can grow at temperatures close to the boiling point of water or above. They are potential resources of thermostable enzymes including alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs). Both Thermococcus guaymasensis and Thermotoga hypogea produce ethanol as an end product usin...
