Various mycobacterial species namely M. phlei, M. vaccae, M. scrofulaceum, M. avium and M. tuberculosis have been investigated for the presence of enzyme alanine dehydrogenase which could be important for utilization of alanine by TCA cycle. It was found that alanine dehydrogenase was present in all species of mycobacteria tested irrespective of the fact whether they are rapid or slow growers. Electrophoretic mobilities of alanine dehydrogenase from different species of mycobacteria were not found to be significant for taxonomical differentiation of rapid and slow growers.
已对多种分枝杆菌进行研究，包括草分枝杆菌、母牛分枝杆菌、瘰疬分枝杆菌、鸟分枝杆菌和结核分枝杆菌，以检测丙氨酸脱氢酶的存在，该酶对于三羧酸循环利用丙氨酸可能很重要。结果发现，在所测试的所有分枝杆菌种类中均存在丙氨酸脱氢酶，无论它们是快速生长菌还是缓慢生长菌。未发现不同分枝杆菌种类的丙氨酸脱氢酶的电泳迁移率对于区分快速生长菌和缓慢生长菌具有重要的分类学意义。
