The biosynthesis of 3-amino-3-deoxy-D-glucose by Bacillus aminoglucosidicus was studied. Incorporation of C-1-, C-2-, C-6- and C-U-labeled glucoses into the aminosugar was proved. The aminosugar was synthesized in a cellfree system by a route which involved UDP-D-glucose. It was synthesized from enzyme solution, UDP-D-glucose, DPN and glutamine or ammonia.
