Glucose incorporation by Treponema pallidum.

J T Barbieri, C D Cox
PMCID: PMC414297  PMID: 378845

Abstract

Treponema pallidum incorporated glucose into trichloroacetic acid-precipitable material. The amount of incorporation was proportional to the number of treponemes and was estimated to equal 3% of the glucose oxidized.
