Abstract
Glycerol is oxidized to CO2 by the combined activities of (a) a mito-chondrial preparation from germinated peanut cotyledons which contains presumably a glycerol kinase, glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, and the TCA cycle system, and (b) a soluble protein fraction from the supernatant fraction of germinated peanut cotyledons which contains enzymes of the glycolytic cycle. The properties and cofactors of this complete system are described.
