Abstract
A particulate preparation from extracts of Aerobacter aerogenes oxidized 2-deoxy-D-glucose to 2-deoxy-D-gluconate, 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-D-glucose to 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-2-keto-D-gluconate, and D- and L-lactate to pyruvate.The oxidations of D-gluconate and D- and L-lactate were found to be different with regard to pH of optimum activity, and to various inhibitory compounds. On the basis of these and other observations, it is suggested that the three substrates were oxidized by different enzyme systems. Other results suggest that the oxidation reactions were catalyzed by flavoprotein enzymes.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
