Glycerol metabolism is important for cytotoxicity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 2009

Hames Claudine, Halbedel Sven, Hoppert Michael, Frey Joachim, Stülke Jörg

Abstract excerpt

Glycerol is one of the few carbon sources that can be utilized by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Glycerol metabolism involves uptake by facilitated diffusion, phosphorylation, and the oxidation of glycerol 3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a glycolytic intermediate. We have analyzed the expression of the genes involved in glycerol metabolism and observed constitutive expression irrespective of the presence of...
