Metabolism of hydrogen cyanide by higher plants.
A survey has been made of the occurrence and distribution of three enzymes which metabolize cyanide in a variety of higher plants including both cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic species. The enzymes investigated were beta-cyanoalanine synthase, rhodanese and formamide hydrolyase. beta-Cyanoalanine synthase was found to be present in every higher plant tested whereas rhodanese was found to occur fa...
متن کاملFat Metabolism in Higher Plants
The discovery and isolation of the multienzyme system responsible for p oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA’ have stimulated investigation of the synthesis of long chain fatty acids by multiple @ condensation of the acetyl CoA. In 1953 Van Baalen and Gurin (1) were the first to demonstrate that acetate was incorporated into fatty acids by aqueous extracts of pigeon liver. In 1953 Stansly and...
متن کاملDetoxification of Cyanide in Gold Processing Wastewater by Hydrogen Peroxide
Utilizing cyanide compounds in mining and chemical industry is one of the most important environmental issues due to the acute toxic properties of many cyanide compounds to humans and aquatic life. Cyanide tends to react readily with most other chemical elements, producing a wide variety of toxic, cyanide related compounds. This research was aimed at investigating a feasible and economical tech...

متن کاملThe metabolism of hexose and pentose phosphates in higher plants.
The pathway of carbohydrate degradation, which begins with the action of G-6-P dehydrogenase’ on G-6-P, has been studied by a number of workers (l-9). Their results have shown the operation of this scheme in a variety of tissues (yeast, red blood cells, and mammalian liver). The existence of G-6-P dehydrogenase in various seeds (10) suggests the occurrence of this system in higher plants. The p...
