Fructose diphosphate aldolase catalyzes a variety of closely related aldol-cleavage/
condensation reactions. The enzymic activity was discovered in muscle in 1934 by Meyerhof
and Lohmann (1, 2) and since then has been found to be distributed widely in
microorganisms, plants, and animals (3-11). Notable exceptions are to be found in certain of
the heterofermentative bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides (12, 13), in which the
Embden-Meyerhof pathway of energy production is absent.
