Abstract
Recent observations of deuterium in the Jovian atmosphere in the CH3D and HD phases permit a reexamination of the mechanism of deuterium fractionation in Jupiter. It is shown that catalysis must play an important role in the reaction paths and that, most probably, the catalytic agents are embedded in the lower cloud deck. Subject headings:abundances, planetary - atmospheres, planetary - molecules
