Carbohydrate Metabolism of Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract
SUMMARY: The experiments described establish the importance of the pentose cycle in carbohydrate breakdown by Staphylococcus aureus. No Entner-Doudoroff pathway was found. Another feature is the extensive glucose effect: growth in glucose enhanced glycolysis suppressed the Krebs cycle, decreased the activity of the pentose cycle and suppressed the formation of many enzymes. Even the oxidation of pyruvic acid was decreased in glucose-grown organisms. The decrease of oxidative activity affected the cytochromes. The main products of carbohydrate oxidation were acetic acid and carbon dioxide. The accumulation of acetic acid indicated that the link between pyruvic acid and the citric acid cycle was weak.

Common bacterial contaminants from skin or soil such as Staphylococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. rapidly consume glucose as a carbon source.
“It is important to note that glucose would be rapidly consumed as a carbon source by common bacterial contaminants from skin or soil such as Staphylococcus sp. and Bacillus sp. (Baumstummler et al., 2010; Strasters & Winkler, 1963).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
