Previous studies of carbohydrate metabolism have been limited almost exclusively to naturally occurring saturated sugars. Very little attention has been devoted to the fate of the unsaturated and anhydro sugars in the organism. Even though these unsaturated sugars occur very rarely in nature, information concerning their fate in the body would be of value in determining the mechanism of sugar m...

after hydrolysis an additional quantity makes its appearance. He maintains that this phenomena is explained either by the presence of carbohydrate matter of lower cupric oxide power than glucose, or by the liberation of sugar from a glucoside. Proteid matter has recently been shown to be of a glucoside character, and to be able to yield cleavage carbohydrate. Forming a constituent part of a lar...

Van Hall, G., J. A. L. Calbet, H. Søndergaard, and B. Saltin. Similar carbohydrate but enhanced lactate utilization during exercise after 9 wk of acclimatization to 5,620 m. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 283: E1203–E1213, 2002. First published July 30, 2002; 10.1152/ajpendo. 00134.2001.—We hypothesized that reliance on lactate as a means of energy distribution is higher after a prolonged period...

A draft genome of a novel Dictyoglomus sp., NZ13-RE01, was obtained from a New Zealand hot spring enrichment culture. The 1,927,012-bp genome is similar in both size and G+C content to other Dictyoglomus spp. Like its relatives, Dictyoglomus sp. NZ13-RE01 encodes many genes involved in complex carbohydrate metabolism.
