Abstract
Expts. with radioactive CO2 have shown that the formation of succinic acid during the anaerobic sugar metabolism of the holotrichous protozoan, Tetrahymena geleii, involves the assimilation of CO2. Since the radioactivity of the succinic acid so produced is strictly limited to the carboxyl groups, the results support the current concepts of the mechanism of succinic acid formation.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
