What is the role of Acetobacter ghanensis JN01 in the biodegradation of ethanol and acetaldehyde?

Label:chem

Topic
Acetobacter ghanensis JN01 is a bacterial strain isolated from traditional fermented food Jiaosu. It has been identified for its ability to biodegrade both ethanol and acetaldehyde, which are toxic compounds associated with excessive alcohol consumption and pose health risks.

From: "Biodegradation of Both Ethanol and Acetaldehyde by Acetobacter ghanensis JN01", Catalysts 2025, 15(8), 756;
Answer
Acetobacter ghanensis JN01 plays a crucial role in the biodegradation of ethanol and acetaldehyde by converting ethanol to acetaldehyde through alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and then further converting acetaldehyde to acetic acid through aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). This dual biodegradation capability makes it a promising candidate for detoxifying ethanol and acetaldehyde in biological systems.
