In 19 strains of staphylococci a study was made of the activity of acetyl-CoA-synthetase reaction. All the strains possessed an active enzymatic system transforming the acetate into an active form. The activity of acetyl-CoA-synthetase proved to be much greater in the pigmented staphyloccus strains than in the nonpigmented ones. It is supposed that there existed an association between the acetyl-CoA-synthetase and the biogenesis of carotinoid pigments in Staph. aureus.
对19株葡萄球菌的乙酰辅酶A合成酶反应活性进行了研究。所有菌株都拥有一个将乙酸转化为活性形式的活性酶系统。结果证明,色素沉着葡萄球菌菌株中乙酰辅酶A合成酶的活性比无色素菌株中的活性高得多。据推测,金黄色葡萄球菌中乙酰辅酶A合成酶与类胡萝卜素色素的生物合成之间存在关联。
