Abstract A new intracellular bacterial dehydrogenase has been purified. It was active in the reversible reduction by NADH of conjugated carbonyl groups in partially degraded lignin. It was also active on various aromatic aldehydes such as vanillin, syringaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde, but had no effect of acetovanillone and lignin models carrying a conjugated ketone. It is proposed that this enzyme functions as a broadly specific lignin dehydrogenase at the level of aldehydic groups that are present in the lignin preparations.
