REACTIONS OF THE TRICARBOXYLIC ACID CYCLE IN GREEN LEAVES

Tricarboxylic acid cycle reactions in the fungus Zygorrhynchus moelleri.

Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in

The effect of light on the tricarboxylic Acid cycle in green leaves: I. Relative rates of the cycle in the dark and the light.

Excised green leaves of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus L. var. Mungo) were used to determine the effect of light on the rate of endogenous respiration via the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Illumination with white light at an intensity of 0.043 gram calories cm(-2)min(-1) (approximately 8600 lux) of visible radiation (400-700 nm) gave a rate of apparent photosynthesis, measured as net CO(2) uptake, of ...

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...

The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle in Dictyostelium discoideum

Experimental studies of enzyme kinetics in vitro and metabolic fluxes in vivo have been used by Wright and her colleagues to develop a detailed kinetic model of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in Dictyostelium discoideum. This model has recently been been analyzed by two different methods (Albe, K. R., and Wright, B. E. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 3106-3114; Shiraishi, F., and Savageau, M. A. (199...
