title: Partial purification and properties of D-glucosamine 6'-phosphate N-acetyltransferase from zoospores of Blastocladiella emersonii.
abstract: A d-glucosamine 6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase from Blastocladiella emersonii zoospores was partially purified to a specific activity of 2.41 IU per mg of protein. Its pH optimum was 8.05 and its K(m) values were 2.4 x 10(-4) M d-glucosamine 6-phosphate and 0.38 x 10(-4) M Na(3)S-acetyl coenzyme A.
