A pathway toward isobutanol production previously constructed in Escherichia coli involves 2-ketoacid decarboxylase (Kdc) from Lactococcus lactis that decarboxylates 2-ketoisovalerate (KIV) to isobutyraldehyde. Here, we showed that a strain lacking Kdc is still capable of producing isobutanol. We found that acetolactate synthase from Bacillus subtilis ...

Low-dose, high-potency herbicides are defined as those herbicides with a maximum label application rate of 0.5 pounds of active ingredient per acre. Several classes of chemicals fall into this category, including the acetolactate synthase (ALSase) inhibitor herbicides, imidazoli...

... et al. (2006) showed that the rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) fixation, the ... of black nightshade plants were all significantly reduced after application ... ...

Acetolactate synthase (ALS) was isolated from a field population of cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium) that developed resistance to the herbicide Scepter following three consecutive years of application. The active ingredient of Scepter, imazaquin, gave an inhibitor concentration required to produce 50% inhibition of the enzyme ...
