Abstract excerpt
Bacillus subtilis possesses two similar putative phosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) encoding genes, gap (renamed gapA) and gapB. A gapA mutant was unable to grow on glycolytic carbon sources, although it developed as well as the wild-type strain on gluconeogenic carbon sources. A gapB mutant showed the opposite phenotype. Purified GapB showed a 50-fold higher GAPDHase activity with...
