Organic Acid Metabolism by Isolated Rhizobium japonicum Bacteroids

Iris Stovall 1, Michael Cole 1
PMCID: PMC1091978  PMID: 16660386

Abstract

Rhizobium japonicum bacteroids isolated from soybean (Glycine max L.) nodules oxidized 14C-labeled succinate, pyruvate, and acetate in a manner consistent with operation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and a partial glyoxylate cycle. Substrate carbon was incorporated into all major cellular components (cell wall + membrane, nucleic acids, and protein).
