The baking yeast is the preferred organism to generate biofuels. However, it requires processed
sugar to generate ethanol, which may put a strain on the food industry. Therefore, you decide to
choose a photosynthetic organism to generate bioethanol. You select cyanobacteria. which use
the sunlight as the primary energy for cell growth and proliferation. What are the two enzymes
for which you would like to clone the coding genes and express in cyanobacteria? What are their
respective substrate(s) and product(s)? Name the enzyme(s) that is/are also expressed in humans
and describe its/their functions.
Solution
ans. The roke of yeast in production of ethanol is the most important element that distinguishes
wine from grape juice,
In the absence of oxygen that is under anerobic conditions yeast converts the sugar into ethanol
and carbondioxide throufg the process of fermentation.
1, The two enzymes are pyruvate decaroxylase(pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase. (adh)
The coding sequence from both the enzymes frm the bacterium zymomonas is cloned into a
shuttle vector pCB4r and then transform into cynobacteria strain
2. The major pathway for synthesis of bioethanol involves
PDC catalyses the non oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate which results in the production of
acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide
Acetaldehyde is then reduced to alcohol by alcohol dehydrogenase.
PDC is tetramer of 4 identical subunit of 50kd mass.
2 isozymes of ADH present.
3. Enzymes in human for ethanol production is
ADH4 which is present in gut
