RESUMO

The kinetic features of the myo-inositol transport system in Pseudomonas putida are reported. The system is sensitive to osmotic shock, is not operative in membrane vesicles, and does not involved substrate phosphorylation. Line-weaver-Burk plots indicate the presence of two different systems, whose Kt are 5 micrometer and 0.43 mM and whose V max are 7.9 and 27 nml/mg per min, respectively. Transport activity of glucose-grown cells is very low. myo-Inositol-grown cells lose the high-affinity system upon osmotic shock; concentrated shock fluid possesses myo-inositol-binding activity. The system is very specific for the myo-configuration of the cyclitol.
