An l-glucose catabolic pathway in paracoccus species 43p*

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Tetsu Shimizu from the Tetsu Shimizu, Naoki Takaya, and Akira Nakamura, From the Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tennodai, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan Background:, Glucose, the enantiomer of, glucose, was believed not to be utilized by any organismsResults: An, glucose-utilizing bacterium was isolated, and its, glucose catabolic pathway was identified genetically and enzymatically. Conclusions:, Glucose was utilized via a novel pathway to pyruvate and, glyceraldehyde, phosphate. Significance: This might lead to an understanding of homochirality in sugar metabolism. An, glucose-utilizing bacterium, Paracoccus sp. P, was isolated from soil by enrichment cultivation . . .
