RESUMO

Eagon, R. G. (University of Georgia, Athens). Bacterial dissimilation of l-fucose and l-rhamnose. J. Bacteriol. 82:548–550. 1961.—Of 33 microorganisms screened for the ability to utilize the methylpentoses, l-fucose and l-rhamnose, 18 species utilized one or both methylpentoses. The majority of the bacterial species capable of utilizing these methylpentoses did so by isomerization of the methylpentoses to the corresponding ketoses followed by phosphorylation of the ketoses. However, the existence of a second pathway is suggested by results obtained from Sarcina lutea, Bacillus megaterium, Gaffkya tetragena, and Rhizobium leguminosarum.
