Abstract
The 11 species of bacteria used all deaminate aspartic acid anaerobically to succinic acid. The 4 facultative anaerobes effect a reversible equilibrium, aspartic acid[plus or minus]fumaric acid +ammonia. The 4 strict aerobes and 3 strict anaerobes show no trace of this reaction. Indications are that all the bacteria used will completely deaminate glycine, alanine and glutamic acid.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
