Separation and some properties of D-galactonate pathway enzymes from Mycobacterium sp. 607
Abstract:
D-galactonate-grown cells of Mycobacterium sp. 607 can utilize D-galactonate by a pathway involving D-galactonate dehydratase, 2-keto-3-deoxy-galactonate kinase and 6-phospho-2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate aldolase. The enzymes have been separated by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose or ultrafiltration on Sephadex G-100. Partial characterization on the kinase and the aldolase have been described.
