INTERMEDIARY METABOLISM OF CARBOHYDRATES AND RELATED SUBSTANCES
Activities in an investigation of CO/sub 2/ fixing reactions leading to the formation of dicarboxylic acids and the role of these reactions in formation of glycogen and glucose from pyruvate and its precursors are reported. Results indicate that it is unlikely that pyruvic kinase contributes significantly to PEP carboxykinase synthesis. It appears more likely that PEP is formed from oxalacetate. Further investigation of the fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase step in the synthesis of glucose and hexosemonophosphate from fumarate is reported. In other research, the role of acetic acid in oxidation and pentose metabolism in microorganisms, and oxidative phosphorylation in microorganisms were investigated. (J.R.D.)
