It was seen to have an open reading frame consisting of 1,485 bp encoding 494 amino acids (about 54 kDa), which shares approximately 35-55% of amino acid sequence identity with some known long-chain dehydrogenase/ reductase family enzymes. The recombinant S. meliloti MDH (SmMDH) showed the highest activity at , and pH 7.0 (D-fructose reduction) and pH 9.0 (D-mannitol oxidation), respectively. SmMDH could catalyze the oxidative/reductive reactions between D-mannitol and D-fructose in the presence of as a coenzyme, but not with NADP+/NADPH. These results indicate that SmMDH is a typical -dependent mannitol dehydrogenase.
