Abstract
The authors have carried out a series of studies on L-glutamic acid fermentation with astrain of Brevibacterium divaricatum nov. sp. in the previous papers.In this paper, some metabolism of L-glutamic acid and oxidative decomposition of severalorganic acids concerning the tricarboxylic acid cycle by the resting cells have been studied.The results suggest that L-glutamic acid is one of the final fermentative products of thisbacterium, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle is working as a glutamic acid forming cycle.The presence of glucokinase, phosphoglucoisomerase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase, DPNlinkedglyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and TPN-linked glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in cell-free extracts of this bacterium was also demonstrated.
