Biosynthesis of Phosphatidylcholine in Euglena gracilis*† |
|
| Authors: | CARL L. TIPTON MICHAEL D. SWORDS |
| Abstract: | SYNOPSIS. Extracts of Euglena gracilis carry out a very rapid but limited synthesis of phosphatidylcholine when S-adenosylmethionine or ATP and methionine are supplied. Cytidinediphosphocholine apparently is not utilized. Qualitatively the same results are obtained whether the cells are light- or dark-grown. |
