Abstract
The en-zymes of the reductive pentose phosphate cycle were analyzed in extracts obtained from 3 photosynthesizing cells, namely, Chlorella, Euglena and spinach leaves. All enzymes of the cycle were found to be present but some activities were found to be very low. Particularly, transaldolase and hexosediphosphatase were far too low to satisfy the rate of CO2 fixation observed in intact cells.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
