“…Zymomonas fructosan gave a series of oligosaccharides (detected up to the pentasaccharide) which resembled in Rp value and in behaviour towards triphenyltetrazolium chloride spray (cf. Feingold et al 1956) the series from perennial rye-grass levan. In contrast the oligosaccharides from dahlia inulin had different RF values and could not be detected with triphenyltetrazolium chloride, though they were readily detected with alkaline silver nitrate (Trevelyan et al 1950).…”

1. Molar growth-yield coefficients of Zymomonas mobilis for glucose, fructose, glucose plus fructose, and sucrose are reported. Yield coefficients for sucrose are appreciably lower than those for the equivalent concentrations of glucose plus fructose. 2. Only 2.6% of [U-(14)C]glucose supplied in the growth medium is incorporated into cell substance by Z. mobilis utilizing glucose as the energy source. 3. During growth on sucrose a levan is formed. It has been characterized and shown to resemble other bacterial levans. 4. Levan formation from sucrose could be demonstrated with both washed cell suspensions and cell extracts of Z. mobilis. 5. Sucrose phosphorylase could not be demonstrated in extracts of the organism.
