Abstract
An enzyme preparation has been obtained from Leuconostoc mesenteroides which catalyzes the phosphorolytic cleavage of pentose phosphate to yield acetyl phosphate and triose phosphate. Pentose phosphates are cleaved only after conversion to xylulose 5-phosphate. A scheme describing glucose fermentation by Leuconostoc mesenteroides is also presented.
