Alcohol dehydrogenase (quinone) (, type III ADH, membrane associated quinohaemoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name alcohol:quinone oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * ethanol + ubiquinone $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetaldehyde + ubiquinol

This enzyme is present in acetic acid bacteria where it is involved in acetic acid production.
