1. The existence of two different D-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases in Pseudomonas fluorescens has been demonstrated. Based on their different specificity and their different metabolic regulation one enzyme is appointed to the Entner-Doudoroff pathway and the other to the hexose monophosphate pathway. 2. A procedure is described for the isolation of that D-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase which forms part of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (Entner-Doudoroff enzyme). A 950-fold purification was achieved with an overall yield of 44%. The final preparation, having a specific activity of about 300 mumol NADH formed per min per mg protein, was shown to be homogeneous. 3. The molecular weight of the Entner-Doudoroff enzyme has been determined to be 220000 by gel permeation chromatography, and that of the other enzyme (Zwischenferment) has been shown to be 265000. 4. The pI of the Entner-Doudoroff enzyme has been shown to be 5.24 and that of the Zwischenferment 4.27. The Entner-Doudoroff enzyme is stable in the range of pH 6 to 10.5 and shows its maximal activity at pH 8.9. 5. The Entner-Doudoroff enzyme showed specificity for NAD+ as well as for NADP+ and exhibited homotropic effects for D-glucose 6-phosphate. It is inhibited by ATP which acts as a negative allosteric effector. Other nucleoside triphosphates as well as ADP are also inhibitory. 6. The enzyme catalyzes the transfer of the axial hydrogen at carbon-1 of beta-D-glucopyranose 6-phosphate to the si face of carbon-4 of the nicotinamide ring and must be classified as B-side stereospecific dehydrogenase.

The transformation of inosine into 5'-inosine acid by Pseudomonas trifolii cells was studied. The synthesis of 5'-inosine acid can be performed by both live intact and dry cells. The effectiveness of inosine phosphorylation depends on the ratio of the inosine and phosphate donor concentrations and the amount of cells. The temperature and pH effect on activity of nucleoside phosphotransferase, phosphomonoesterase and 5'-nucleotidase has been studied. The influence of surface active substances and metal ions on the synthesis of 5'-inosine acid has been investigated. Optimal conditions for the inosine transformation by the above culture have been established.

Mechanisms involved in the action of the pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (EC 1.6.1.1) have been investigated by means of kinetic studies and fluorescence titration. Our results, as well as those from previous investigations, suggest that the allosteric MWC model (Monod, J., Wyman, J., and Changeux, J. P. (1965), J. Mol. Biol. 12, 88-118) may be used as a first step for the explanation of the properties of the transhydrogenase. The basic reaction of the enzyme is the oxidation of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) by diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPN+). In terms of the model, the functional R state is favored by TPNH, whereas the product triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN+) behaves as an allosteric inhibitor, and is therefore assumed to favor the nonfunctional T state. To a slight extent, the T state is also favored by inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, adenosine 2'-monophosphate and several other 2'-phosphate nucleotides function as activators, and hence are presumed to shift the allosteric equilibrium toward the R state. The studies in this paper suggest a specific regulatory site for the transhydrogenase.

The anabolic ornithine carbamoyltransferase of Pseudomonas appears to be extremely specialized. Unlike the other carbamoyltransferases studied, this enzyme catalyzes the phosphorolytic cleavage of citrulline with a very poor efficiency. The main goal of this paper is to understand what, in the catalytic process, causes this directed functional specialization. On the basis of kinetic data and thermodynamic properties of the reaction, it appears that the reaction mechanism is the same as for ornithine carbamoyltransferases from other sources, that is, of the sequential ordered type, where carbamoylphosphate is the first substrate to be bound and phosphate the last product to be released. In addition to this, and here lies the difference with other ornithine carbamoyltransferases, the anabolic transferase of Pseudomonas forms a binary dead-end complex with citrulline, leading to inefficient binding of phosphate and citrulline to the enzyme. Therefore the phosphorolytic cleavage of citrulline is equally inefficient. It should be mentioned that the affinity of the enzyme for citrulline at its catalytic site is low as compared to other transferases.

The 1-phosphofructokinase (1-PFK, EC 2.7.1.56) from Pseudomonas putida was partially purified by a combination of (NH4)2SO4 fractionation and DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. In its kinetic properties, this enzyme resembled the 1-PFK's from other bacteria. With the substrates fructose-1-phosphate (F-1-P) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Michaelis-Menten kinetics were observed, the Km for one substrate being unaffected by a variation in the concentration of the other substrate. At pH 8.0, the Km values for F-1-P and ATP were 1.64 X 10(-4) M and 4.08 X 10(-4) M, respectively. At fixed concentrations of F-1-P and ATP, an increase in the Mg2+ resulted in sigmoidal kinetics. Activity was inhibited by ATP when the ratio of ATP:Mg2+ was greater than 0.5 suggesting that ATP:2 Mg2+ was the substrate and free ATP was inhibitory. Activity of 1-PFK was stimulated by K+ and to a lesser extent by NH4+ and Na+. The reaction rate was unaffected by 2 mM K2HPO4, pyruvate, phosphoenolpyruvate, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, fructose-6-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, 6-phosphogluconate, 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate, or citrate. The results indicated that the 1-PFK from P. putida was not allosterically regulated by a number of metabolites which may play an important role in the catabolism of D-fructose.

Enzymes catalyzing steps from ethanol to acetyl-coenzyme A, from malate to pyruvate, and from pyruvate to glucose 6-phosphate were identified in ethanol-grown Pseudomonas indigofera. Enzymes catalyzing the catabolism of glucose to pyruvate via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway were identified in glucose-grown cells. Phosphofructokinase could not be detected in Pseudomonas indigofera. Itaconate, a potent inhibitor of isocitrate lyase, abolished growth of P. indigofera on ethanol at concentrations that had little effect upon growth on glucose. The date obtained through enzyme analyses and studies of itaconate inhibition with both extracts and toluene-treated cells suggest that itaconate selectively inhibits and reduces the specific activity of isocitrate lyase.

The biosynthesis of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) by a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is found to be significantly influenced by inorganic phosphate. Optimum HCN production occurs when the phosphate concentration is between 1 and 10 mM. Above and below this concentration the amount of HCN produced decreases sharply and at 0.1 and 100 mM phosphate low HCN production occurs. If a culture growing at 0.1 mM phosphate and producing low HCN is shifted to 10 mM phosphate, HCN biosynthesis resumes. Experiments with chloramphenicol indicate that de novo-protein synthesis is required for the process.

Fermentation studies using batch culture indicated that exopolysaccharide production by Pseudomonas NCIBI1264 in a chemically defined medium increased under conditions of nitrogen limitation and excess carbon substrate at pH values above 6. The polysaccharide was formed from a variety of carbon substrates and its composition was not affected by the nature of the carbohydrate source. Polysacharide formation did not increase in media containing small amounts of phosphate, and, as in secondary metabolite production, it started late in the exponential growth phase continuing maximally after growth had ceased. The efficiency of glucose conversion into exopolysaccharide was low. Colorimetric, viscometric, and total carbon estimation techniques are described for determining exopolysaccharide levels in cell-free culture supernatants.

Operation of the dissimilatory hexulose phosphate cycle of formaldehyde oxidation in Pseudomonas oleovarans has been directly confirmed. Extracts of this typical facultative methylotroph catalyze the formation of 14CO2 from 14C-formaldehyde. The process depends on the presence of ribose-5-phosphate, NADP or NAD, and is linear in time. Oxidation of formaldehyde via formate to CO2 is of a minor importance in the energy metabolism of the methylotroph.

Exopolysaccharide formation by Pseudomonas NCIB11264 in a single-stage continuous culture was maximal under nitrogen limitation with excess carbohydrate substrate at 30 +/- 1 degrees C and pH 7.0 +/- 0.1. Polysaccharide production was not enhanced by phosphate limitation but was dependent on the dilution rate. Steady states were maintained for up to 500 h without deterioration of the culture or the development of mutant strains. The efficiency of conversion of the glucose substrate utilized into exopolysaccharide by the chemostat cultures was as high as 73%.
