Abstract
SUMMARY: The incorporation pattern of 14C from [14C]glucose by the fungus Zygorhynchus moelleri has been investigated. The following substances became labelled in incubation periods of 6 sec. to 30 min.: the monophosphates of glucose, fructose, sedoheptulose, ribose, maltose, glycerol, gluconic acid, glyceric acid, enolpyruvic acid and guanosine; the diphosphates of fructose, glucose, glyceric acid, adenosine, uridine, inosine and guanosine; the triphosphates of adenosine and uridine; uridinediphosphoglucose and uridinediphosphoribose; free maltose and fructose; aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, tyrosine, proline, histidine, threonine, citrulline and glutamine; malic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid and glyceric acid. A small percentage of the 14C was present in unidentified substances. The kinetics of the incorporation of 14C, first into uridinediphosphoglucose, then into maltose phosphate, and finally into free maltose, suggests this sequence of compounds for the biosynthetic pathway of maltose formation.Keywords
