Glucokinase and glucose 6‐phosphate dehydrogenase activities are found in species of “true neisserias”, also in the non‐saccharolytic ones. The enzymes are not found in the “false neisserias” (N. catarrhalis, N. ovis and N. caviae). The stimulating effect of glucose on the synthesis of these enzymes, and the electrophoretic behaviour of glucose 6‐phosphate dehydrogenase are compared in the different species.
