Malonate kinase and isocitrate lyase were induced in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus grown on malonate as a sole carbon source but repressed by succinate. The induction of those two enzymes was stimulated by dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate, indicating that the expression of their genes for those enzymes is dependent on cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate.

In malonate grown Pseudomonas fluorescens, malonate decarboxylase and acetyl-CoA synthetase were induced, whereas in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus malonate decarboxylase, acetate kinase, and phosphate acetyltransferase were induced. In both bacteria malonate decarboxylase was the first, key enzyme catalyzing the decarboxylation of malonate to acetate, and it was localized in the periplasmic space. Acetate thus formed was metabolized to acetyl-CoA directly by acetyl-CoA synthetase in Pseudomonas, and to acetyl-CoA via acetyl phosphate by acetate kinase and phosphate acetyltransferase in Acinetobacter.
