Abstract
A spontaneous mutant of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata, capable of growth on glycerol, has been isolated. The mutant requires CO(2) or malate to assimilate glycerol photosynthetically. This requirement is not manifested aerobically. Glycerokinase (EC 2.7.1.30) and pyridine nucleotide-independent l-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.2.1) activities appear coincidently with the metabolism of glycerol, suggesting that this organism employs these enzymes for glycerol dissimilation.Entities:
