Fermentation mechanism of fucose and rhamnose in Salmonella typhimurium and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

摘要: An equimolar amount of 1,2-propanediol was detected in the medium when Salmonella typhimurium or Klebsiella pneumoniae fermented L-fucose L-rhamnose. These metabolic conditions induced a propanediol oxidoreductase that converted lactaldehyde formed dissimilation either sugar into diol. The enzyme further identified by cross-reaction with antibodies against Escherichia coli oxidoreductase. This indicates and L-rhamnose fermentation takes place these species production excretion.
