Polyol dehydrogenases. 2. The polyol dehydrogenases of Acetobacter suboxydans and Candida utilis

Abstract: Bertrand-Hudson rule; the other exhibits activity resembling that of an extract made from Candida Utili. MATERIALS AND METHODS Organisms. Acetobacter suboxydans, no. 621, was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, Washington, D.C. It was grown at 300 for 3 days in a yeast-water medium to which 0.3 % (w/v) of KH2PO4 and 2 % (w/v) of glycerol were added (pH about 5.5). The cultures (100 ml. of medium in 500ml. conicalflasks) were aerated by continuous shaking. Yeast water was prepared by boiling 1 l… Show more

“…Nearly all the strains of the mesoxydans group of Acetobacter and of Gluconobacter oxidized both substrates. Arcus & Edson (1956) showed a DPN-linked mannitol deliydrogenase in G. suboxydans and we found a TPN-specific dehydrogenase in A. meti Ch 81 (De Ley & Schell, 1 9 5 9~) . Fructose, which was formed or excreted outside the cell, became unavailable.…”

“…for L-iditol dehydrogenase (Smith, I 962). By contrast, the cytochrome-linked mannitol dehydrogenase of Acetobacter suboxydans catalyses the oxidation of polyols with an optimum at about pH 5 (Arcus & Edson, 1956 (Table 4) were low, as is not unusual with polyol dehydrogenases (e.g. Horecker, 1962a;Scher & Horecker, 1966a).…”

“…Les [14] ne constatent aucune oxydation, ni du ms-inositol, ni des inositols optiquement actifs, [14]). Comme l'action de 1'EBB disparait presque compl&tement par dialyse ou par traitement par des agents complexants, elle est due sans doute essentiellement i sa teneur en ions Mg++.…”
