| Abstract: | The sporocysts of Microphallus similis and M. pygmaeus can aerobically utilise radiosugars and 14 CO2in vitro. Both have an EMP pathway, TCA cycle, pentose-phosphate shunt, are able to undergo transamination reactions and can synthesise some essential amino acids. Carbon dioxide fixation involves the carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate to form oxaloacetate. |
