The uptake of glucose by Pseudomonas aeruginosa probably involves two distinct inducible pathways with differing affinities for glucose. A high afffmity (low Kin) system with a K m value of 8 vM for glucose, is induced by growth on glucose but not by growth on gluconate, glycerol, succinate or citrate [1, 2]. Stinson et al.[3, 4] have described a periplasmic glucose binding protein which is induced in the same growth media, suggesting the involvement of this protein in the high affinity system. In addition, a low affinity (K m= 1-2 mM) glucose transport system has been described and is induced by growth on glucose, gluconate and glycerol but is repressed by succinate and citrate [1, 2]. Recently, Mizuno and Kageyama [5] described an outer membrane protein D which was considerably enhanced in cells grown in the presence of glucose. We demonstrated that protein D was in fact two polypeptides, one of which, protein D1, only appeared after growth of cells on glucose [6]. In this paper, we demonstrate that protein D1 is induced under growth conditions which result in induction of the high affinity glucose uptake system and the periplasmic glucose binding protein. Furthermore, protein D1 has been purified and shown to reconstitute sucrose glucose permeable pores in LPS-phospholipid vesicles. We postulate that the protein is an outer membrane glucose pore analogous to the lamB maltose pore of
