Abstract

Cell‐free extracts of Gluconobacter melanogenus cells grown in L‐sorbose‐containing media contained an enzyme system capable of converting L‐sorbose to 2‐keto‐L‐gulonic acid while cells grown in glycerol media did not. This inducible enzyme was located in the participate fraction of the cells.
