title: Lactose and D-galactose metabolism in group N streptococci: presence of enzymes for both the D-galactose 1-phosphate and D-tagatose 6-phosphate pathways.
abstract: Group N streptococci possess enzymes for the metabolism of d-galactose through both the d-galactose 1-phosphate pathway (Leloir pathway) and the d-tagatose 6-phosphate pathway.
