| Abstract: | Intact caeca of the marine borer, Bankia setacea (Tryon), were incubated in vitro with (1-14C)- and (6-14C)-glucose. The specific yields of 14CO2 from (1-14C)- and (6-14C)-glucose were found to be 9 and 1% respectively. From these values the contribution of the pentose cycle to the overall glucose metabolism was calculated as 3%. Glucose is catabolized mainly via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. |
