In the article, there were other substrates mentioned that were detected in AldC by using spectrophotometric assay. Substrates that were identified were aliphatic aldehydes of 5–9-carbon length, like hydrocinnamaldehyde and 4-pyridinecarboxyaldehyde. As substrates, octanal had the highest specific activity that function properly for AldC. The article also mentions that short 2–4-carbon aldehydes, branched aliphatic aldehydes, and larger aromatic aldehydes are poor substrates for AldC.
