There are several forms of malate dehydrogenases that differ by their use of substrate and cofactors. This NAD+-dependent enzyme forms oxaloacetate and unlike EC 1.1.1.38, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating), is unable to convert it to pyruvate. Also oxidizes some other 2-hydroxydicarboxylic acids. cf. EC 1.1.1.82, malate dehydrogenase (NADP+); EC 1.1.1.299, malate dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+]; and EC 1.1.5.4, malate dehydrogenase (quinone).

(S)-malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
There are several forms of malate dehydrogenases that differ by their use of substrate and cofactors. This NAD+-dependent enzyme forms oxaloacetate and unlike EC 1.1.1.38, malate dehydrogenase (oxaloacetate-decarboxylating), is unable to convert it to pyruvate.

reduction of oxaloacetate to L-malate with NADH as coenzyme, at oxaloacetate concentration of 0.05 mM. Reduction of oxalacetate to L-malate with NADPH as coenzyme
in glucose minimal medium, the DELTAndh mutant, but not the DELTAldhA and DELTAmdh strains, show reduced growth and a lowered NAD+/NADH ratio. Growth of the double mutants DELTAndh/DELTAmdh and DELTAndh/DELTAldhA, but not of strain DELTAmdh/DELTAldhA, in glucose medium is stronger impaired than that of the DELTAndh mutant. In L-lactate minimal medium the DELTAndh mutant grows better than the wild-type. The DELTAndh/DELTAmdh mutant fails to grow in L-lactate medium and acetate medium. Growth with L-lactate can be restored by additional deletion of sugR. Ndh, Mdh and LdhA together cannot be replaced by other NADH-oxidizing enzymes in Corynebacterium glutamicum
the oxidation of NADH with the concomitant reduction of a quinone is a crucial step in the metabolism of respiring cells. Relevance of three different NADH oxidation systems in the actinobacterial model organism Corynebacterium glutamicum: non-proton-pumping NADH dehydrogenase (Ndh), and NADH-oxidizing enzymes, L-lactate dehydrogenase (LdhA) and malate dehydrogenase (Mdh)
the enzyme is required for oxidation of NADH. The net reaction of the Mdh-Mqo couple equals that of an Ndh and it can serve as an alternative NADH dehydrogenase, as Mdh reduces oxaloacetate with NADH to L-malate, and the membrane-associated malate:quinone oxidoreductase (Mqo) subsequently re-oxidizes L-malate back to oxaloacetate and reduces menaquinone (MK)
MDH is a ubiquitous enzyme found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The enzyme belongs to the superfamily of 2-ketoacid NAD(P)+-dependent dehydrogenases. MDH has diverged into two distinct phylogenetic groups. One group includes cytoplasmic MDH, chloroplast MDH, and MDH from Thermus flavus; the other group includes MDHs that are similar to lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Structure comparisons, the MDHs are mostly dimeric or tetrameric, overview
characterization of defined mutants lacking the non-proton-pumping NADH dehydrogenase Ndh (DELTAndh) and/or one of the alternative NADH-oxidizing enzymes, L-lactate dehydrogenase LdhA (DELTAldhA) and malate dehydrogenase Mdh (DELTAmdh). Together with the menaquinone-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase LldD and malate:quinone oxidoreductase Mqo, the LdhA-LldD and Mdh-Mqo couples can functionally replace Ndh activity. In glucose minimal medium the DELTAndh mutant, but not the DELTAldhA and DELTAmdh strains, show reduced growth and a lowered NAD+/NADH ratio, in line with Ndh being the major enzyme for NADH oxidation. Growth of the double mutants DELTAndh/DELTAmdh and DELTAndh/DELTAldhA, but not of strain DELTAmdh/DELTAldhA, in glucose medium is stronger impaired than that of the DELTAndh mutant, supporting an active role of the alternative Mdh-Mqo and LdhA-LldD systems in NADH oxidation and menaquinone reduction. In L-lactate minimal medium the DELTAndh mutant grows better than the wild-type, probably due to a higher activity of the menaquinone-dependent L-lactate dehydrogenase LldD. The DELTAndh/DELTAmdh mutant fails to grow in L-lactate medium and acetate medium. Growth with L-lactate can be restored by additional deletion of sugR, suggesting that ldhA repression by the transcriptional regulator SugR prevented growth on L-lactate medium. Attempts to construct a DELTAndh/DELTAmdh/DELTAldhA triple mutant are not successful, suggesting that Ndh, Mdh and LdhA cannot be replaced by other NADH-oxidizing enzymes in Corynebacterium glutamicum
