When cell suspensions of the Gardner lymphosarcoma were incubated with acetate-2-C14, ap preciable radioactivity was observed in the alpha carbon of free glycine (4). There are described be low experiments showing that the methyl carbon of acetate may also be utilized in the formation of free serine. The incorporation of radioactivity from labeled glucose into both amino acids and of labeled ri...
