The data presented in this paper indicate operation of different mechanisms for acetate oxidation by A. aerogenes, depending on the carbon source used for growth. The mechanism for citrate-grown cells appears to involve a conventional citric acid cycle, whereas acetate-grown cells appear to incorporate acetate carbon more readily via a dicarboxylic acid cycle.

ABSTRACT The succinic, malic and isocitric dehydrogenases in the ovary of immature and mature, normal and serum gonadotrophin injected rats were examined. The Qo2 of these enzymes were markedly enhanced in the gonadotrophin injected rats of both age groups, except in the case of succinic dehydrogenase in the ovary of the immature rats, where a slight non-significant decrease was noted. It is concluded that in the mature rat ovary, gonadotrophin administration stimulates the activity of all the examined dehydrogenases of the citric acid cycle, whereas in the immature rat ovary, at least the isocitric- and malic dehydrogenases are thus stimulated.
