GDPmannose dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.132) in a mucoid strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from a patient with cystic fibrosis was identified by demonstrating the NAD-linked formation of GDPmannuronate from GDPmannose mediated by a cell extract of the organism. Nonmucoid mutant strains did not contain GDPmannose dehydrogenase, which suggests that the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of alginate-like polysaccharide by P. aeruginosa.
从一名囊性纤维化患者分离出的铜绿假单胞菌黏液样菌株中的GDP甘露糖脱氢酶(EC 1.1.1.132),通过证明该生物体细胞提取物介导的由GDP甘露糖形成GDP甘露糖醛酸的NAD连接反应而得以鉴定。非黏液样突变菌株不含GDP甘露糖脱氢酶,这表明该酶参与了铜绿假单胞菌藻酸盐样多糖的生物合成。
