Biosynthese und Stoffwechsel von Folsäure und Pteridinen

Abstract
Streptococcus faecalis R is incorporating 6-pterinaldehyde into folic acid. The microorganisms used in this work do not convert in vivo any pterins into folic acid or folic acid into biopterin-active compounds. Thus we may assume that folic acid is not a precursor for the biosynthesis of biopterin. Also biopterin cannot be used for the biosynthesis of folic acid.
