MethodsBacteriological-P. jluorescens, strain A3. 12, was grown at room temperature in a mineral medium described previously (5). One or more carboys cont’aining 14 liters of medium were each inoculated with 1 liter of a 16 hour culture grown in 1 per cent yeast extract, 1 per cent tryptone, 0.5 per cent KzHP04, and 0.5 per cent glucose. Vigorous aeration was attained by an arrangement which stirred at 1725 rpm and forced 1 to 2 volumes of air per minute through the culture. After 7 hours the cells were harvested in a Sharples centrifuge, washed, and dried either in vacua or with acetone. 2 to 2.5 gm. dry weight of cells per liter of medium were obtained.Chemical-6-Phosphogluconate was prepared from crystalline barium glucose-6-phosphat> e heptahydrate (6) by a modification of the procedure of Robison and King (7) in which the bromine oxidation was carried out in the absence of barium ions. 1-U4-6-Phosphogluconate was prepared by Dr. BL Horecker (8). Sodium glutathione (NaGSH) was obtained from t, he Schwarz Laboratories, Inc. The end-product, presumed to be KDPG, was prepared from 6-PG by the action of 6-PG dehydrase and recovered from t’he reaction mixture as the monobarium salt by alcohol precipitat’ion. Crystalline Nas-2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate. 2H20 was donated by Dr. M. Doudoroff. Triphosphopyridine nucleotide, 80 per cent pure, was obtained from the Sigma Chemical Company. DL-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(G-3-P) was prepared from m-glyceraldehyde-1-bromide-3-phosphoric acid (dimeric) obtained from the Concord Laboratories by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. DeterminationsPyruvate was determined either by the direct or by the double extraction methods of Friedemann and Haugen (9). In the absence of both hydrazine and the alkali pretreatment which are employed in aldolase determinations by Sibley and Lehninger (lo), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate did not give a color. KDPG formed a 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone which was not soluble in polar solvents. In the presence of alkali the color produced by the unextracted 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazone faded to nil in less than 5 minutes. Thus the intermediate phosphate ester and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate did not int’erfere with the pyruvate determinations. Pyruvate also was estimated in the presence of lactic dehydrogenase and reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide (DPNH) from the decrease in optical density at 340 rn/*. 6-Phosphogluconate was determined spectrophotometrically by the method of Horecker and Smyrniotis (11) with purified yeast 6-PG dehydrogenase. KDPG n-as det, ermined by ceric sulfate degradation (12) or by conversion to pyruvate by KDPG aldolase (13), followed by spectrophotometric or calorimetric pyruvate determinations. Carbon14 concentrations were determined as BaCY403, as described
