Appendix. Analysis of tricarboxylic acid cycle using mass isotopomer ratios.

Analysis of tricarboxylic acid-cycle metabolism of hepatoma cells by comparison of 14CO2 ratios.

The CO2-ratios method is applied to the analysis of abnormalities of TCA (tricarboxylic acid)-cycle metabolism in AS-30D rat ascites-hepatoma cells. This method utilizes steady-state 14CO2-production rates from pairs of tracers of the same compound to evaluate TCA-cycle flux patterns. Equations are presented that quantitatively convert CO2 ratios into estimates of probability of flux through TC...

The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in Dictyostelium discoideum

Some aspects of tricarboxylic acid-cycle activity during differentiation and aging in Dictyostelium discoideum were examined. The concentrations of glutamate, aspartate, alanine, citrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate, pyruvate and acetyl-CoA were determined at four stages over the course of differentiation. The rate of 02 utilization was also determined over differe...

Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa”

During the past few years scattered information has appeared which indicates that at least some bacteria probably possess a tricarboxylic acid cycle. Lockwood and Stodola found that Pseudomonas jluorescens formed considerable quantities of a-ketoglutaric acid when growing on a glucose medium under conditions of intense aeration (1). Ajl and Werkman found evidence for at least parts of the conve...
