The activities of enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism, enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and some related enzymes were measured in cell-free extracts of strain TK-6, an extremely thermophilic, obligately autotrophic, aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium. Activities of phosphofructokinase, aldolase, pyruvate kinase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrase and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase, key enzymes of the Embden-Meyerhof and the Entner-Doudoroff pathways were not found in the extracts. All of the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes except α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase were present. These metabolic defects are considered to be one of the reasons for the obligate autotrophy of strain TK-6.
