A. aerogenes produces an inducible enzyme system that converts allose to fructose-6-phosphate. The first step is a phosphorylation to yield allose-6-phos-phate. Evidence is presented that indicates an isomerase transforms allose-6-phosphate to allulose-6-phosphate which is subsequently converted to fructose-6-phosphate by a 3-epimerase.
