乙酸菌糖磷酸化作用的研究

对7种乙酸菌(Acetitomaculum ruminis, Acetobacterium woodii, Eubacterium limosum和分离株A2、A4、A10、H3HH)的葡萄糖和2脱氧葡萄糖磷酸化作用进行了研究。尽管所有机体都存在磷酸化反应，但它们在依赖PEP和ATP的比例上有实质性区别。分离菌株A10具有最高的依赖PEP的葡萄糖磷酸化活力(1162nmol·L-1·mg-1·min-1)，A10、H3HH和E.limosum都具有葡萄糖磷酸转移酶系统(phosphotransferase systemPTS)。相反，Ａ.ruminis、A.woodii、A2和A4则不具有PTS活力。这七株菌的葡萄糖依赖ATP的磷酸化活力都高于依赖PEP的磷酸化活力，但其程度有所不同。A10和H3HH的葡萄糖PTS可通过胞外葡萄糖诱导，并且其比活在对数期随培养时间延长而增加。此外，还检测到A10和H3HH对麦芽糖和果糖的依赖ATP和PEP的磷酸化活力。

SUGAR PHOSPHORYLATION ACTIVITIES IN ACETOGENIC BACTERIA

Seven acetogenic bacteria (Acetitomaculum ruminis, Acetobacterium woodii, Eubacterium limosum as well as isolates A2, A4, A10 and H3HH) were tested for PEP- and ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glucose and 2-deoxyglucose. Although all organisms had detectable phosphorylation activity, substantial variation existed in the rates of both PEP- and ATP-dependent phosphorylation. Isolate Alo had the highest rate of PEP-dependent phosphorylation of 11.62 nmol.L-1.mg-1.min-1. Isolate A10, H3HH as well as E. limosum most likely have a glucose phosphotransferase system(PTS). In contrast, A ruminis, A. woodii and isolate A2, A4 had PEP-dependent glucose phosphorylation rates very similar to control rates, suggesting the lack of PTS activity. The rates of ATP-dependent glucose phosphorylation were higher than PEP-dependent phosphorylation in all organisms surveyed. However, substantial variation existed in the rates of ATP-dependent glucose phosphorylation. The glucose PTS of isolates A10 and H3HH were induced by the presence of extracellular glucose. Moreover, the specific activity of the glucose PTS of both isolates increased as cultures progressed from the early log to late log phase of growth. ATP- and PEP-dependent maltose and sucrose phosphorylation was detected in isolates A10 and H3HH. Although activity was detected in both isolates(A10 and H3HH), the rate of activity varied considerably, depending on the sugar and organism tested.
