Klebsiella aerogenes possesses a PQQ-linked glucose dehydrogenase. Other members of the Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium or Serratia marcescens are seemingly unable to synthesize PQQ, but are able to synthesize the glucose dehydrogenase apoenzyme. The physiological significance of this enzyme is discussed.
产气克雷伯菌拥有一种与吡咯喹啉醌(PQQ)相连的葡萄糖脱氢酶。肠杆菌科的其他成员,如大肠杆菌、鼠伤寒沙门氏菌或粘质沙雷氏菌,似乎无法合成PQQ,但能够合成葡萄糖脱氢酶脱辅基酶。本文讨论了这种酶的生理意义。
