An inducible enzyme which phosphorylates d-fructose 1-phosphate with adenosine triphosphate to yield d-fructose 1,6-diphosphate has been identified and partially purified from extracts of d-fructose-grown Aerobacter aerogenes PRL-R3. Evidence is cited which supports the participation of this enzyme in d-fructose metabolism in this organism.
