SYNTHESIS OF GLUTAMIC ACID AND ALANINE BY SALMONELLA PULLORUM

Synthesis of glutamic acid and alanine by Salmonella pullorum.

The literature reveals many references to transamination by bacteria. Two well substantiated works are those of Cutinelli (1945) and Lichstein and Cohen (1945). Goodlow, Mika, and Braun (1950) and Altenbern and Housewright (1951) have demonstrated synthesis of alanine by BruceUa abortus involving this method. Altenbern and Housewright also showed that their organism was capable of direct or red...

A New Synthesis of Glutamic Acid*

Glutamic acid has been prepared previously by the racemization (1) of the natural dextro form and by three synthetic methods. The first synthesis, that by Wolff (2) in 1890, is principally of theoretical interest as it involves the preparation of six intermediate substances starting with levulinic acid and the yield of final product is not given. In 1925 Knoop and Oesterlin (3) obtained 1.1 gm....

THE FREE ENERGIES OF FORMATION OF AQUEOUS d-ALANINE, I-ASPARTIC ACID, AND d-GLUTAMIC ACID BY HENRY BORSOOK

The employment of thermodynamics in biochemistry has been restricted, until recently, to the use of first law data. In the last few years a beginning has been made in the application of the second law; i.e., of free energy data (1, 2). The development of this field is limited by the paucity of available free energy data. We have therefore undertaken the systematic determination of the free ener...
