Radiorespirometric and enzyme analyses were used to reveal the glucose-catabolizing mechanisms functioning in single strains of seven presumed Agrobacterium species. The Entner-Doudoroff and pentose cycle pathways functioned in A. radiobacter, A. tumefaciens, A. rubi, and A. rhizogenes. Whereas both catabolic pathways were utilized to an almost equal degree in the A. radiobacter and A. tumefaciens strains, use of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway predominated in the A. rubi and A. rhizogenes strains. A stellulatum catabolized glucose almost solely through the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. In A. pseudotsugae and A. gypsophilae, glucose was metabolized mainly through the Emden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway; the pentose phosphate pathway was also utilized.
采用放射呼吸测定法和酶分析法来揭示七种假定的土壤杆菌属单一菌株中发挥作用的葡萄糖分解机制。埃姆登-多德洛夫途径和戊糖循环途径在放射形土壤杆菌、根癌土壤杆菌、悬钩子土壤杆菌和发根土壤杆菌中发挥作用。在放射形土壤杆菌和根癌土壤杆菌菌株中，这两种分解代谢途径的利用程度几乎相等，而在悬钩子土壤杆菌和发根土壤杆菌菌株中，埃姆登-多德洛夫途径的使用占主导地位。星状土壤杆菌几乎完全通过埃姆登-多德洛夫途径分解葡萄糖。在假铁杉土壤杆菌和嗜石膏土壤杆菌中，葡萄糖主要通过糖酵解途径代谢；戊糖磷酸途径也被利用。
