The regulation of transport of glucose and methyl alpha-glucoside in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

M Midgley et al. Biochem J. 1973 Feb.

Abstract

The methyl alpha-glucoside-transport system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been characterized with respect to its specificity, energy-dependence, kinetics and regulation. The uptake of glucose involved two components, one of which transported glucose (K(m)=8mum) and methyl alpha-glucoside (K(m)=2.8mm) whereas the other was more complex, involving the extracellular activity of glucose dehydrogenase. Mutants defective in this enzyme have been isolated and characterized. The methyl alpha-glucoside-glucose-transport system was repressed when the organism was grown in the absence of glucose; the induction of this transport system by glucose, and its activity once induced, were inhibited by products of citrate metabolism.
