d-Mannitol 1-Phosphate Dehydrogenase and d-Sorbitol 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Aerobacter aerogenes

D-Mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase and D-sorbitol 6-phosphate dehydrogenase in Aerobacter aerogenes.

n-Mannitol has been used as a carbon source for the growth of many microorganisms. Some bacteria contain diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent dehydrogenases that will oxidize n-mannitol to n-fructose at the nonphosphorylated level (2-5). On the other hand, Wolff and Kaplan (6, 7) have reported the presence of a diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent n-mannitol l-phosphate dehydrogenase that o...

D-sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus casei.

Several different systems for the conversion of sorbitol to hexose have been described in microorganisms. In the pseudomonads, sorbitol may be oxidized to fructose (Shaw, 1956) or to sorbose (Sebek and Randles, 1952). The latter investigators concluded that the conversion of sorbitol to fructose or sorbose did not involve phosphorylation since carbon dioxide was not liberated from bicarbonate b...

D-Mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli.

D-Mannitol is the most widely distributed of the naturally occurring hexahydric alcohols, and the compound has been known since the early part of the nineteenth century. It is found as a reserve material in some algae and many higher plan&. In some lower fungi it is the product of the fermentation of sugars. Finally, mannitol is utilized for growth and fermented by a large number of species of ...

An inducible D-arabitol dehydrogenase from Aerobacter aerogenes.

A capsulated strain of derobacter aerogenes 1033 (2) has been found to metabolize glycerol via two separate pathways. The first pathway was mediated by a diphosphopyridine nucleotidelinked glycerol dehydrogenase and a specific dihydroxyacetone kinase, whereas the second pathway involved a specific glycerol kinase and a DPN-independent L-a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (3-5). Although all the a...
