Abstract
The culture conditions under aeration affected the reduction ability of yea st strains using ethanol as an energy source. This was caused by changes in the aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity, which was demonstrated by meas uring the ALDH activities of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kloeckera magna. The ALDH activities of these yeasts were maximum at an oxygen absorption ra te of 18 mmol/h/l.
