TABLE 2.

Substrate conversion and product formation by D. dehalogenans^a

Culture	Substrate conversion and product formation (mmol/liter)
	Pyruvate degraded	Lactate formed	Acetate formed	Cl-OHPA transformed	OHPA formed
Pyruvate + Cl-OHPAb	15.3		15.0	11.5	14.5
Pyruvatec	29.9	8.3	23.3

^aD. dehalogenans was grown for 46 h at 37°C in medium buffered with 40 mM ¹³C-labeled bicarbonate. 

^bThe initial concentrations were 15 mM pyruvate and 16 mM Cl-OHPA. 

^cThe initial pyruvate concentration was 30 mM.
