Abstract

An enzyme, which in the presence of NAD(+) and CoA oxidizes malonic semialdehyde to acetyl-CoA, has been purified from an extract of the colourless alga Prototheca zopfii. 2. The purified enzyme has optimum pH7.5, is specific for NAD(+) and requires a thiol compound for maximum activity. 3. The enzyme is inhibited by arsenite, N-ethylmaleimide and urea. 4. The results are discussed in relation to those obtained by other workers with a similar bacterial enzyme, and a possible reaction sequence is proposed.
