Identification
Name: Retinol
Description:Retinol is also known as Vitamin A. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, retinol can be oxidized to retinal in a reversible reaction catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenases (EC 1.1.1.1) such as those encoded by Pseudomonas aeruginosa genes frmA and adhP. This reaction also reduces NAD+ to NADH. (KEGG)
