1) Nucleoside phosphotransferase activity was observed somewhere in the bacterial cells, as well as a relatively large amount of 5'-nucleotidase and of phosphomonoesterase.
2) Nucleoside phosphotransferase activity and its product specificity did not depend upon the cultural conditions or cultural period but were suggested to be due to the inherent or basic character of strains.
3) Aromatic phosphate compounds and nucleotides are useful for this reaction as donor; especially in the latter case, product specificity of the reaction was confirmed to correlate with nucleotide isomer added as donor, namely with donor specificity.
4) The phosphate transfer reaction using nucleotide as donor was reversible, but that using
p-NPP was irreversible.
5) The synthesis and accumulation of IMP was apparent to correlate with the concentration of donor phosphate rather than that of
p-NP and Pi liberated.
6) The yield of 5'-IMP from HxR and
p-NPPwas amounted to about 70_??_80%, this reaction, therefore, is useful for the preparation or production of 5'-IMP.
