ABSTRACT:
An oxidoreductase is provided which, in the presence of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD.sup.+) as a co-enzyme, will catalyse the oxidation of polyols having at least one hydroxyl group on each of at least two adjacent carbon atoms, e.g. 1,2-ethanediol. The enzyme has an apparent relative molecular mass M.sub.r of about 330,000 has substantially no specificity for monohydric alcohols and may be isolated from a micro-organism belonging to the genus Microbacterium.
