Abstract excerpt
Extracts prepared from cultures of Bacillus subtilis, grown on maltose as the sole carbon source, lacked maltose phosphotransferase system activity. There was, however, evidence for a maltose phosphorylase activity, and such extracts also possessed both glucokinase and glucose phosphotransferase system activities. Maltose was accumulated by whole cells of B. subtilis by an energy-dependent mechanism. This uptake...
