[Metabolism characteristics of Acinetobacter sp. IMS B-7005 grown on the mixture of C2,-C6-substrates].

It has been established that under the conditions of mixotrophic growth of Acinetobacter sp. B-7005 on the mixture of sodium acetate and glucose the activity of acetyl-KoA-synthetase and that of phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase were 10 times lower and indices of synthesis of microbial exopolysaccharide (EPS) ethapolan are almost 2 times lower than on the mixture of potassium acetate and glucose. It is supposed that the positive role of sodium cations may consist in their participation in the active transport of acetate to the cells of Acinetobacter sp.
