L-Arabinose Metabolism in Rhizobium japonicum

Departamento de Bioquímica da Universidade Federal do Paraná and Divisão de Bioquímica do Instituto de Biologia e Pesquisas Tecnológicas do Estado do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil

ABSTRACT

L-Arabinose was metabolized through an oxidative pathway by extracts of a strain of Rhizobium japonicum. The findings showed that L-arabinose is converted into 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-arabonate, which is cleaved into glycoaldehyde and pyruvate.
