Abstract Cell‐free extracts of Gluconobacter melanogenus cells grown in L ‐sorbose‐containing media contained an enzyme system capable of converting L ‐sorbose to 2‐keto‐ L ‐gulonic acid while cells grown in glycerol media did not. This inducible enzyme was located in the participate fraction of the cells.
