Carbohydrate Catabolism in Azospirillum amazonense
AUTOR(ES)
Martínez-Drets, G.
RESUMO
The nitrogen fixer Azospirillum amazonense grew on the various disaccharides, hexoses, and pentoses tested in this study but not on polyols and on some tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. An active transport system was detected for sucrose and glucose but not for mannitol and 2-ketoglutarate. Six A. amazonense strains were examined for 16 carbon-metabolizing enzymes, and the results indicate that these strains employ the Entner-Doudoroff pathway to catabolize sucrose, fructose, and glucose. The hexose monophosphate and Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathways were not detectable.
