Metabolism of n-Butane and 2-Butanone by Mycobacterium vaccae |
|
| Authors: | W. E. Phillips Jr. J. J. Perry |
| Abstract: | n-Butane was metabolized in Mycobacterium vaccae (JOB5) via terminal oxidation. This organism metabolized 2-butanone through propionate (or propionyl coenzyme A). Subterminal oxidation in M. vaccae was apparently limited to propane. |
