The Metabolism of Oxalic Acid*

103 Abstract: Oxalic acid is a widely occurring natural product of animals, plants and other organisms. It sometimes occurs as a free acid, but more commonly as a calcium salt. Organisms exhibit various levels of oxalate content which even show fluctuations among the organs of the same individual. Although oxalate seems to engage in the metabolism and adaptation of animals, plants and fungi, it...

Enzymatic Decarboxylation of Oxalic Acid* by William

Although it has been recognized that oxalic acid is decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (2-6), relatively little is known of the details of oxalic acid metabolism. The present study represents an attempt to establish the mechanism of oxalate degradation at the enzyme level by the use of a bacterium isolated from soil. Partially purified enzyme preparations obtained from the organism catal...

Enzymatic decarboxylation of oxalic acid.

Large quantities of oxalic acid accumulate in the cell sap of various plants and as a major product of carbohydrate metabolism by many molds. A recent investigation in our laboratory revealed that oxalic acid was produced from oxalacetic acid by an enzyme system which was isolated from the mycelia of Aspergillus niger (1). It was also demonstrated that oxalic acid was converted to formic acid a...

Reproductive toxicology. Oxalic acid.

Background: We conducted an assessment of knowledge about blood borne pathogens (BBP) and use of universal precautions at first level care facilities (FLCF) in two districts of Pakistan. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey and selected three different types of FLCFs ; public, general practitioners and unqualified practitioners through stratified random sampling technique. At each fac...
