. Glucosamine-6-phosphate degradation by
Proteus vulgaris
and isolation of phosphoglucosaminisomerase. J. Bacteriol.
87:
1123–1128. 1964.—The presence of the enzyme, phosphoglucosaminisomerase, was demonstrated in a strain of
Proteus vulgaris
. Fructose-6-phosphate and ammonia were shown to be the primary reaction products. The optimal pH was 7.2 with a broad peak. This differs from previously reported bacterial phosphoglucosaminisomerases which had a pH optimum of about 5.8. Other properties of the enzyme are presented.
