Abstract Bacillus fastidiosus was able to grow on glycerol as a carbon source when allantoin or urate was used as nitrogen source. The primary assimilatory enzyme for glycerol was glycerol kinase; glycerol dehydrogenase could not be detected. The glycerol kinase activity was increased 30-fold in allantoin/glycerol-grown cells as compared to alantoin-grown cells. Under both growth conditions high levels of glutamate dehydrogenase were found. Glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase activities could not be demonstrated, while low levels of alanine dehydrogenase were present. It is concluded that B. fastidiosus assimilates ammonia by the NADP-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase.
