The specific activities of the following enzymes have been measured: mannitol 1-phosphate dehydrogenase, mannitol 1-phosphatase, mannitol dehydrogenase, hexokinase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase and aldolase. The maximal capacities of the enzymes were calculated and were compared with the metabolic fluxes in the mannitol cycle. No enzyme limitations for the fluxes in the cycle were found. It is proposed that the coenzyme availability governs the fluxes in the cycle. No large differences in the specific enzyme activities between an alternariol producing strain and a nonproducing strain were found that could explain the production of the secondary metabolite.
