The basic metabolic differences between the slow-growing species, such as R. japonicum, and the fast-growing rhizobia (Vincent, 1974; Martinez de Drets & Arias, 1972; Elkan, 1971) are not clearly understood but suggest that both physiological and genetical data obtained with either R. meliloti or R. trifolii might not be applicable to R. japonicum. Previous reports have dealt with the metabolism of glucose and gluconate by R. japonicum (Keele, Hamilton & Elkan, 1969, 1970) and indicate that the Entner-Doudoroff glycolytic pathway operates in this organism. The fast-growing rhizobia also possess the pentose phosphate and Embden-Meyerhof pathways (Vincent, 1974; Jordan, 1962 ; Katznelson & Zagallo, 1957). This paper reports on the enzymic basis for D-mannitol utilization in clones derived from R. japonicum 3 I I bI 10. These clones differed in symbiotic nitrogen-fixing efficiency and, in their free-living state, exhibited a clear difference in ability to utilize D-mannitol (unpublished observations).}, number={JAN}, journal={JOURNAL OF GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY}, author={KUYKENDALL, LD and ELKAN, GH}, year={1977}, pages={291–295} }
