Glycine Metabolism

Metabolism of glycine in carrot culture cells

"C n.m.r. spectroscopy has been applied to the investigation of glycine metabolism in tobacco cell cultures (Ashworth & Mettler, 1984) and tobacco protoplasts (Neeman c t ul., 1985). These investigations demonstrated that after prolonged incubation of cells with [2-"C]glycine, the C-2 of glycine was incorporated, in equal proportions. in both the C-2 and C-3 positions of serine; serine was the ...

Glycine Synthesis and Metabolism in Escherichia Coli.

Pizer, Lewis I. (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia). Glycine synthesis and metabolism in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 89:1145-1150. 1965.-A correlation was demonstrated between a nutritional requirement that can only be satisfied by glycine and the absence of the enzymatic capacity to interconvert l-serine and glycine. Serine synthesis from 3-phosphoglycerate was observed in the same ...

Xii. Experiments on the Metabolism of Glycine

Metabolism of glycine by avian liver.

Metabolism of glycine by rumen microorganisms.

Rumen microorganisms rapidly metabolized glycine at rates varying from 0.014 to 0.241 mumole of glycine per ml per min. The main metabolic products were carbon dioxide, acetic acid, and ammonia; little glycine was incorporated into bacterial protein. Use of carboxyl or methylene-labeled glycine showed that the carbon dioxide came mainly from the carboxyl of glycine, whereas both carbons of acet...
