Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and properties of formaldehyde dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented which demonstrates that the reaction product of the formaldehyde-dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of formaldehyde is S-formylglutathione rather than formate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of hansenula-polymorpha in a methanol-limited chemostat - physiological-responses due to involvement of methanol oxidase as a key enzyme in methanol metabolism
TL;DR: In this article, Hansenula polymorpha has been grown in a methanol-limited continuous culture at a variety of dilution rates and was found to have a maximal capacity to oxidize excess methanols at low growth rates, which was 1.6 times higher than the rate required to sustain the growth rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol oxidases of Kloeckera sp. and Hansenula polymorpha. Catalytic properties and subunit structures.
TL;DR: Alcohol oxidase (alcohol: oxygen oxidoreductase) of a thermophilic methanol-utilizing yeast, Hansenula polymorpha DL-1, was isolated in crystalline form and was more stable to heat than was the enzyme of Kloeckera sp.polymorpha, compatible with the difference in growth temperatures for both yeasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbody of Methanol-Grown Yeasts
TL;DR: Localization of a flavin-dependent alcohol oxidase as well as characteristic microbody enzymes (catalase and d-amino acid oxidase) were ascertained in the isolated microbodies, whereas formaldehyde and formate dehydrogenases were detected in the cytoplasmic region.

Oxygen scavenging with enzymes
TL;DR: In this article, the removal of ambient oxygen from aqueous liquids is effectively catalyzed by enzymatic deoxygenation systems comprising alcohol oxidase in the presence of alcohol optionally with catalase.
