Abstract In the gram negative, obligately ethanologenic bacterium Zymomonas mobilis a pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was identified and the complex was enriched from cell extracts. This multienzyme complex is responsible for acetyl-CoA biosynthesis from pyruvate. No activities of related multienzyme complexes, 2-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase, could be detected.
