Abstract excerpt
Phosphoglucomutases catalyze the reversible conversion of D-glucose 1-phosphate to D-glucose 6-phosphate, a key metabolic step in all cells. Two classes of phosphoglucomutases have been described so far, using either the alpha- or beta-forms of the phosphorylated sugars. The pgcM gene of Bacillus subtilis was cloned and used to construct a plasmid-based overexpression system for PgcM in Bacillus megaterium. The...
