Abstract
Mortlock, R. P. (U.S. Army Chemical Corps, Frederick, Md.). Gluconate metabolism of Pasteurella pestis. J. Bacteriol. 84:53-59. 1962.-During a study of gluconate metabolism by a virulent strain of Pasteurella pestis, evidence was obtained for the presence of gluconokinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, transketolase, and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate dehydrase in cell-free extracts. A study of the products of 6-phosphogluconate degradation by extracts indicated that 6-phosphogluconate was metabolized by both the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase-transketolase pathway and the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. No evidence could be obtained for the presence of an active glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.Entities:
