[Mechanism of glucose oxidation by a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain (type R). III. Influence of endogenous non-protein factors].

Cells of P. fluorescens cultivated in iron-deficient media contain two types of constituents, one of which can activate and the other reduce the rate of oxidation of glucose and of the endogenous substrates. These factors, which are of non-protein nature, have been distinguished and characterized by their physiological activity on non-proliferating cells suspensions of these bacteria.
