Thymine Metabolism in Escherichia coli

Hexitol metabolism in Escherichia coli.

D-Sorbitol and dulcitol (galactitol), which, together with D-mannitol, are the three naturally occurring hexitols, have been known since the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Many fungi can utilize sorbitol for growth, but dulcitol is assimilated poorly by Aspergillus niger and a few yeasts. Among bacterial fermentations of these hexitols the best known are those by members of the Acetoba...

Glycolate metabolism in Escherichia coli.

Hansen, Robert W. (University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago) and James A. Hayashi. Glycolate metabolism in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 83:679-687. 1962.-This study of glycolate-adapted Escherichia coli indicates that the most probable route for utilization of the substrate includes glyceric acid, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. A glyceric acid dehydrogen...

Technique for starvation of Escherichia coli of thymine.

Loss of deoxyribonucleic acid-thymine during thymine starvation of Escherichia coli.

A substantial loss of deoxyribonucleic acid-thymine occurs during thymine starvation of several thymine auxotrophs derived from Escherichia coli strains B, 15, and K-12.

Glycine Synthesis and Metabolism in Escherichia Coli.

Pizer, Lewis I. (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). Glycine synthesis and metabolism in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 89:1145-1150. 1965.-A correlation was demonstrated between a nutritional requirement that can only be satisfied by glycine and the absence of the enzymatic capacity to interconvert l-serine and glycine. Serine synthesis from 3-phosphoglycerate was observed in the same ...
