The degradation of Aluminum-citrate by Pseudomonas fluorescens necessitated a major restructuring of the various enzymatic activities involved in the TCA and glyoxylate cycles. While a six-fold increase in fumarase (FUM EC 4.2.1.2) activity was observed in cells subjected to Al-citrate compared to control cells, citrate synthase (CS EC 4.1.3.7) activity experienced a two-fold increase. On the other hand, in the Al-stressed cells malate synthase (MS EC 4.1.3.2) activity underwent a five-fold decrease in activity. This modulation of enzymatic activities appeared to be evoked by Al stress, as the incubation of Al-stressed cells in control media led to the complete reversal of these enzymatic profiles. These observations were further confirmed by H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy. No significant variations were observed in the activities of other glyoxylate and TCA cycle enzymes, like isocitrate lyase (ICL EC 4.1.3.1), malate dehydrogenase (MDH EC 1.1.1.37), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH EC 1.3.99.1). This reconfiguration of the metabolic pathway appears to favour the production of a citrate-rich aluminophore that is involved in the sequestration of Al.
