Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate: fructose phosphotransferase negative mutants of Arthrobacter pyridinolis used fructose in the presence of malate. In isolated membrane vesicles from fructose-grown wild type cells, fructose uptake was stimulated by malate, but not by a variety of other compounds, to almost the same extent as by phosphoenolpyruvate. The stimulation by malate but not that by phosphoenolpyruvate was prevented by 2,4-dinitrophenol or potassium cyanide. D-Fructokinase activity was elevated in cells grown in malate plus fructose or sucrose.
