Mannheimia succiniciproducens phosphotransferase system for sucrose utilization

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2010 Mar;76(5):1699-703. doi: 10.1128/AEM.02468-09. Epub 2010 Jan 15.

Abstract

The succinic acid producer Mannheimia succiniciproducens can efficiently utilize sucrose as a carbon source, but its metabolism has not been understood. This study revealed that M. succiniciproducens uses a sucrose phosphotransferase system (PTS), sucrose 6-phosphate hydrolase, and a fructose PTS for the transport and utilization of sucrose.
