By ethanol and ethylacetate. Basal level and ethanol-induced expression repressed by acetate when grown on lactose. By ethyl methyl ketone (EMK). Transcriptionally regulated by transcriptional activator alcR and carbon catabolite repressor creA. No visible phenotype. Does not affect growth on ethanol, glycerol or acetate as a sole carbon source. Does not result in phenotypes related to possible secretion of ammonia. Grows normally on media with low concentrations of ethanol. No effect when screening for allylalcohol and n-propanol toxicity. AlcA and alcS double mutant has no difference in phenotype from alcA single mutant. FacA and alcS double mutant does not differ from a single facA mutant in its ability to grow on a medium with glycerol as a carbon source either alone or in presence of ethanol. Belongs to the acetate uptake transporter (AceTr) (TC 2.A.96) family.
