Abstract excerpt
Glucose, maltose, and mannose as sole carbon sources, induced synthesis of glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) in three strains of Pantoea with specific activities from 0.14 to 0.6 U/mg proteins. Utilization of lactose indicated that the enzyme belongs to GDH type B isozyme. Of mutant clones, developed through radiation mutagenesis, P2-M2 utilized ribose with GDH specific activity of 0.57 U/mg protein, P4-M3 grown on...
