The Propionic Acid Bacteria on the Mechanism of Glucose Dissimilation* by H. G. Wood
The fundamental investigations of Virtanen (1923, 1925), Virtanen and Karstrom (1931), and van Niel (1928) on the mechanism of glucose dissimilation by the propionic acid bacteria have led to the proposal that glucose after preliminary phosphorylation is converted into 2 molecules of the C) type. Virtanen upon theoretical considerations concludes that lactic acid is an intermediate product of t...
متن کاملThe Aerobic Dissimilation of Lactic Acid by the Propionic Acid Bacteria.
The hydrogen reacts with lactic acid to form propionic acid. Pyruvic acid has been isolated from the fermentation of glucose (1934) and of lactic acid (unpublished data) by Wood and Werkman. These investigators supported Van Niel's proposed dissimilation of pyruvic acid inasmuch as the occurrence of acetaldehyde could not be demonstrated. Little information is available concerning the aerobic d...
متن کاملThe utilisation of CO(2) in the dissimilation of glycerol by the propionic acid bacteria.
This paper by Wood and Werkman is truly outstanding. First, it is a classical example of determination of the path of a fermentation by careful quantitative analyses of substrates consumed and products formed. Second and most importantly, the results led to the discovery of CO2 fixation by heterotrophic bacteria. The dogma at the time the work was done and as expressed in textbooks held that on...
متن کاملThe mechanism of propionic acid formation by Clostridium propionicum.
CZostridium propionicum evidently possesses a mechanism for the conversion of lactate to propionate different from that found in the previously studied propionic acid producing bacteria. Reactions common to certain propionibacteria and VeiZZoneZZa gazogenes which could not be demonstrated with Cl. propionicum include : ( a ) the decarboxylation of succinic acid ; (b) the fermentation of malate ...
متن کاملThe mechanism of propionic acid formation by Veillonella gazogenes.
The evidence for this scheme is : (a ) Washed suspensions of the organism grown on lactate attack, under anaerobic conditions, pyruvate, oxalacetate, L-malate, fumarate and succinate, but not D-tartrate. (b) Organisms grown on D-tartrate attack it and all the substances listed in (a ) except lactate. ( c ) Succinic acid is quantitatively decarboxylated to propionic acid and carbon dioxide. (d )...
