    Notes: Abstract In Zymomonas mobilis a novel pathway for the formation of glycerol 3-phosphate was identified by enzymatic studies and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This pathway branches off from the Entner-Doudoroff pathway at the intermediate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and proceedes via dihydroxyacetone phosphate, dihydroxyacetone, glycerol to glycerol 3-phosphate. The reaction sequence is catalyzed by the enzymes triosephosphate isomerase (0.4 U (mg protein)−1), dihydroxyacetone phosphatase (0.31 U (mg protein)−1), dihydroxyacetone reductase (0.25 U (mg protein)−1), and glycerokinase (0.08 mU (mg protein)−1), respectively. The action of a postulated aldolase catalyzing the cleavage of fructose 6-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate could be excluded.

    Notes: Abstract 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 [14C]acetyl-CoA or [14C]hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA to [14C]mevalonic acid. Furthermore, [14C]mevalonic acid, [14C]mevalonate-5-phosphate and [14C]mevalonate-5-pyrophosphate were metabolized to [14C]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.

    Notes: The effect of 2-aza-2,3-dihydrosqualene (azasqualene) on growth and hopanoid content of Zymomonas mobilis was investigated. Concentrations of 4–7 μM azasqualene resulted in a diminishment of growth and hopanoid content of cells with a simultaneous accumulation of squalene. The inhibitory effect of azasqualene was enhanced by ethanol. Furthermore, the importance of hopanoids for the ethanol tolerance of Z. mobilis was demonstrated by an increased growth inhibition of cells with reduced hopanoid content by ethanol.
