Both acid and alkaline phosphatase have been demonstrated in strains of E. coli. Bacterial acid phosphatase (pH optimum 4-5) displays a fairly high specificity for the hexosephosphates, while the alkaline enzyme (pH optimum 8.5-9.5) hydrolyzes all the phosphomonoesters tested. The kinetics of formation of both enzymes have been studied and it has been shown that alkaline phosphatase in measurable amount is only formed when Pi becomes limiting in the medium, at which point the enzyme is formed in substantial amount at a maximum rate. The implications of the findings with respect to mechanisms of controlling enzyme dormation are discussed.
