Lactose and d-Galactose Metabolism in Group N Streptococci: Presence of Enzymes for Both the d-Galactose 1-Phosphate and d-Tagatose 6-Phosphate Pathways1

Donald L Bissett a, Richard L Anderson a
PMCID: PMC246560  PMID: 4358045

Abstract

Group N streptococci possess enzymes for the metabolism of d-galactose through both the d-galactose 1-phosphate pathway (Leloir pathway) and the d-tagatose 6-phosphate pathway.
