The occurrence of the Leloir pathway in non-pathogenic mycobacteria

Abstract
It has been found that saprophytic strains of mycobacteria can utilize D-galactose via the Leloir pathway which involves galactokinase, galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase and UDP-galactose-4-epimerase. The resulted glucose-1-phosphate is further converted by phosphoglucomutase to glucose-6-phosphate and the latter catabolized in glycolitic cycle to pyruvate. The particular enzymes of the galactose pathway have been fully separated by chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and some of them partially characterized.
