Abstract:
:Cellobiose transport by the cellulolytic ruminal anaerobe Fibrobacter (Bacteroides) succinogenes was measured using randomly tritiated cellobiose. When assayed at the same concentration (1 mM), total cellobiose uptake was one-fourth to one-third that of total glucose uptake. The abilities of F. succinogenes to transport cellobiose or glucose were not affected by the sugar on which the cells were grown. Aspects of the simultaneous transport of [14C(U)]glucose and [3H(G)]cellobiose, the failure of high concentrations of cold glucose to compete with hypothetical [3H(G)]glucose (derived externally from [3H(G)]cellobiose), and differential metal-ion stimulation of cellobiose transport indicate a cellobiose permease, rather than cellobiase plus glucose permease, was responsible for cellobiose transport. Glucose (10-fold molar excess) partially inhibited cellobiose transport. This was enhanced by prior incubation of the cells with glucose, suggesting subsequent metabolism of the glucose was responsible for the inhibition. Compounds interfering with electron transport or maintenance of transmembrane ion gradients inhibited cellobiose uptake, indicating that active transport rather than a phosphoenolpyruvate:phosphotransferase system catalyzed cellobiose transport. Na+, but not Li+, stimulated cellobiose transport.
