Vitamin b12 and folic acid in the synthesis of methionine by micro-organisms
- Abstract:
-
INTRODUCTION
Nutritional and isotopic tracer studies with both animals and micro-organisms have shown that vitamin B12 and folic acid are concerned in the biosynthesis of methionine from homocysteine and a source of C1-units (e.g. serine or formaldehyde).
Using washed suspensions of E.coli serine has been found to be the moat important C1-donor and requirements for p-aminobenzoic acid and cobalamin were also demonstra...
