Systems for the uptake and catabolism of carbohydrates in M. pneumoniae as predicted from the genome sequence (15). FruA (MPN078) is the EIIABC component specific for fructose, and PtsG (MPN207) is the EIICBA component for the uptake of glucose. MtlA (MPN651) and MtlF (MPN653) are the putative EIIBC and EIIA proteins for the transport of mannitol, whereas GlpF (MPN043) is the glycerol uptake facilitator. The glucose-6-phosphate isomerase PgiB (MPN250) and phosphofructokinase Pfk (MPN302) transform glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. The 1-phosphofructokinase FruK (MPN079) and the mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase MtlD (MPN652) are necessary for the conversion of fructose and mannitol to intermediates of glycolysis. The glycerol kinase GlpK (MPN050) and the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase GlpD (MPN051) metabolize glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
