Abstract
A strain of A. faecalis and one of Aerobacter aerogenes capable of utilizing D-erythrose were isolated by enrichment culture. The metabolism of erythrose by A. facealis was studied, and a cell-free system capable of decomposing erythrose was prepared. The formation of a phosphate ester product is suggested by a requirement for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for the utilization of erythrose. In the presence of erythrose, sedoheptulose diphosphate and ATP32, p32-labeled sedoheptulose diphosphate is formed. The result is consistent with the formation of D-erythrose-4-phosphate.Keywords
