A spontaneous mutant of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata, capable of growth on glycerol, has been isolated. The mutant requires CO(2) or malate to assimilate glycerol photosynthetically. This requirement is not manifested aerobically. Glycerokinase (EC 2.7.1.30) and pyridine nucleotide-independent l-alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.2.1) activities appear coincidently with the metabolism of glycerol, suggesting that this organism employs these enzymes for glycerol dissimilation.
已分离出一种荚膜红假单胞菌的自发突变体,它能够在甘油上生长。该突变体在光合同化甘油时需要二氧化碳或苹果酸。这种需求在有氧条件下不表现出来。甘油激酶(EC 2.7.1.30)和不依赖吡啶核苷酸的L-α-甘油磷酸脱氢酶(EC 1.1.2.1)的活性与甘油的代谢同时出现,这表明该生物体利用这些酶进行甘油异化作用。
