Abstract
The G+C content of the DNA of strain SHO-54 which produces a large amount of NAD-specific 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was 41.0 mol%. The extent of the DNA–DNA homology between this strain and Leuconostoc lactis NRIC 1540 ranged from 72.8% to 95.5%. A minimal medium in which strain SHO-54 grew well was determined, and a high activity of the enzyme (410 nkat/ml) was obtained.
