Phosphoglucomutase for β‐glucose 1‐phosphate, an enzyme present in cell‐free extracts ofEuglena gracilisvar.bacillaris, catalyzes the reversible conversion of β‐glucose 1‐phosphate to glucose 6‐phosphate. It was purified 460‐fold by treatment with protamine sulphate, gel filtration in Sephadex G‐100 and chromatography on a DEAE‐cellulose column. The optimum pH of the reaction was 7.0 and the equilibrium constant β‐glucose 1‐phosphate/glucose 6‐phosphate was 0.035. The enzyme has an absolute requirement for β‐glucose 1,6‐bisphosphate as well as a bivalent cation such as Mg2+, Co2+or Mn2+. Measurements in Sephadex G‐100 gave an apparent molecular weight of about 27000.This enzyme together with a trehalose phosphorylase found in the sameEuglenaextracts would constitute a new catabolic pathway for trehalose.The functions of α‐ and β‐glucose 1,6‐bisphosphate as regulation factors in the energy furnisher system inEuglenais discussed.
