Abstract

Cell-free extracts of strains representative of the genera Beneckea and Photobacterium catalyzed a P-enol-pyruvate dependent phosphorylation of d-fructose. The resulting product, fructose-1-P, was converted to fructose-1,6-P2 by 1-P-fructokinase. Both activities were inducible, being present in d-fructose-grown cells and reduced or absent in d-gluconate- (or succinate-) grown cells.
