A phosphoglucomutase (β-phosphoglucomutase) specific for β-glucose 1-phosphate, which catalyzes the β-glucose 1-phosphate:glucose 6-phosphate interconversion, was 560-fold purified from Lactobacillus brevis strain L 6. The isoelectric point of β-phosphoglucomutase was 3.8 and it had an apparent mole...
