The biosynthesis of isopentenylpyrophosphate, a central intermediate Of isoprenoid formation, was investigated in six different bacterial organisms. Cell-free extracts of Myxococcus fulvus, Staphylococcus carnosus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Halobacterium cutirubrum converted [C-14]acetyl-CoA or [C-14]hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA to [C-14]Mevalonic acid. Furthermore, [C-14]mevalonic acid, [C-14]mevalonate-5-phosphate and [C-14]mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate were metabolized to [C-14]isopentenylpyrophosphate. These data demonstrated the in vitro operation of acetoacetate pathway for the formation of isopentenylpyrophosphate in bacteria. In contrast, no intermediates of this reaction sequence could be detected using cell-free extracts of Zymomonas mobilis and Escherichia coli. These results indicate that at least two different pathways for the biosynthesis of isopentenylpyrophosphate are present in bacteria.
