... properties of GLD2 aresimilar to those of the enzymes purified from A. niger[1] and A. nidulans [2]; that is, the enzyme catalysesthe reversible reduction of DHA to glycerol usingNADPH as a cofactor ... gÆL)1 of the main carbon source,as specified, at 28 °C. To make mycelial or cell extracts of H. jecorina or S. cerevisiae, about 100 lg of fresh myceliaor cells were mixed with 300 lL of glass ... activity[9]. A homologue of gldB, gld1, was identified inTrichoderma atroviride. Here, the glycerol dehydro-genase activity of the mycelial extract correlated withthe transcription level of gld1 [12].In...
