Starch Gel Electrophoresis of Fructose-6-Phosphate Phosphoketolase in the GenusBifidobacterium

Abstract
Three groups of nomenspecies of the genusBifidobacteriumwere distinguished by the different mobility of their fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase in starchgel electrophoresis; there is apparently a close relatedness between electrophoretic type of phosphoketolase and habitat.
