Abstract
THE initial reaction in the utilization of D-glucuronic acid by a number of bacterial species is catalysed by uronic isomerase1–3. The enzyme is constitutive in organisms that utilize glucuronate and induced in those organisms that become adapted to the utilization of glucuronate (refs. 2, 3 and unpublished work by Payne, W. J.).
