Further studiea with L. bulgaricw, strain 09 have revealed that ureidosuccinic acid partially replacea that orotic acid ia also a nucleic acid pyrimidine a growth factor for one of the group C streptoprecursor in mammdim tissues. Studiea of orotic acid synthwia and breakdown with e n w e preparationa from an anaerobic bacterium, Zynobacterium oroticum, have indicated the following pathway (Lieberman and Komberg, 1953a; 1954, in preparutiun) :

Influence of ad Libitum Feeding of Piglets With Bacillus Subtilis Fermented Liquid Feed on Gut Flora, Luminal Contents and Health

Some scholars caution that long-term ad libitum feeding with probiotic fermented food poses potential health risks to baby animals. We conducted a feeding experiment to investigate the influence of ad libitum feeding of pre-and post-weaned piglets with a Bacillus subtilis fermented diet on the gut microbiome, gut metabolomic profiles, bile acid metabolism, proinflammatory cytokines and faecal c...

Effect of 6-azauridine on plasma cell tumors of mice: correlation of antitumor effect with inhibition of orotic acid metabolism.

This investigation was undertaken to correlate the antineoplastic effects of 6-azauridine (AzUR) with the activity of orotic acid metabolism and its inhibition in vitro by AzUR in a series of plasma cell tumors of mice. Although AzUR suppressed tumor growth only moderately and to widely different degrees in different tumors, its antitumor effects in vivo appeared to follow its inhibition of oro...

Orotic acid excretion and arginine metabolism.

The urinary excretion of orotic acid, an intermediate in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway, is markedly increased in many inborn errors of the urea cycle and in a number of other disorders involving arginine metabolism. Carbamoyl phosphate, which accumulates within hepatic mitochondria in patients with ornithine transcarbamoylase deficiency, can diffuse to the cytosol and enter the pyrimidine...

Beneficial effect of orotic acid upon galactose metabolism of erythrocytes from congenital galactosemia.

In our preliminary report,,) we described that an oral administration of orotic acid to galactosemic patients resulted in a remarkable decrease of urinary galactose and in an improvement of galactose tolerance curve in addition to a noticeable improvement of clinical symptoms and signs of the patients. In this paper, the effect of orotic acid on galactose metabolism investigated in erythrocytes...
