| Abstract: | Resting cells of l. fermentum convert glyceraldehyde to equimolar lactic acid and neither the evolution of carbon dioxide nor the uptake of oxygen was observed. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate were identified as intermediates which were equally labeled with inorganic P32 in reaction systems, and the presence of triokinase was suggested. |
