The enzyme L-1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase (encoded by FucO) is an NADH-linked, iron-dependent group III dehydrogenase. Expression of fucO from plasmids has been used to improve furfural tolerance in Escherichia coli-based fermentations for ethanol and lactic acid. The reduction of furfural to less toxic alcohol seems essential for growth and fermentation of dilute acid hydrolysates of hemicellulose.

FucO/ L-1,2-Propanediol Oxidoreductase

FucO: 1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase from E. coli has NADH-dependent furan reductase activity. L-1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase is an iron-dependent group III dehydrogenase
