QUANTITATIVE STUDIES ON ENZYME SYSTEM OF HETEROLACTIC FERMENTATION

[摘要] The activity of 2-keto-6-phosphogluconate decarboxylase in the sonicate of washed cells of Leuconostoc mesenteroides B07 was estimated. The value calculated for intracellular activity of the decarboxylase showed good agreement with that for heterolactic fermenting activity of the washed cells.It was concluded that oxidative decarboxylation of 6-phosphogluconate in the organism depends quantitatively on the decarboxylase.
