Abstract excerpt
The pathways involved in the metabolism of ketoaldonic acids by Erwinia sp. strain ATCC 39140 have been investigated by use of a combination of enzyme assays and isolation of bacterial mutants. The catabolism of 2,5-diketo-D-gluconate (2,5-DKG) to gluconate can proceed by two separate NAD(P)H-dependent pathways. The first pathway involves the direct reduction of 2,5-DKG to 5-keto-D-gluconate, which is then...
