Orthophosphate Requirement for the Formation of Phosphoenolpyruvate from Pyruvate by Enzyme Preparations from Photosynthetic Bacteria

Department of Cell Physiology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720

ABSTRACT

The formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from pyruvate and adenosine 5'-triphosphate by enzymes from photosynthetic bacteria required inorganic phosphate, thus indicating that these organisms utilize pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase rather than phosphoenolpyruvate synthase in photosynthesis.
