Cooper, Robert C. (Michigan State University, East Lansing). Evidence for the presence of certain tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes in Thiobacillus thioparus. J. Bacteriol. 88:624-629. 1964.-Various tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes appear to be present in Thiobacillus thioparus. Cell-free extracts of T. thioparus were active for a number of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, including aconitase, isocitric dehydrogenase, and malic dehydrogenase. Tests for the presence of fumarase and the condensing enzyme, citrogenase, were inconclusive. Citrate was shown to be active in the metabolism of T. thioparus, but the actual mechanism involved in its formation was not clear. The enzyme, isocitratase, appeared to be absent. Evidence for the presence of succinic dehydrogenase was found in experiments with whole cells. From these results, it would appear that T. thioparus has a terminal respiration pathway similar to that found in many heterotrophic microorganisms.

VanDemark, P. J. (Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.), and P. F. Smith. Evidence for a tricarboxylic acid cycle in Mycoplasma hominis. J. Bacteriol. 88:1602-1607. 1964.-Resting cells of acetate-grown Mycoplasma hominis strain 07 oxidized the various intermediates of the tricarboxylic and glyoxylate cycles, with the exception of sodium citrate and glyoxylate. Extracts of these cells possessed isocitric dehydrogenase, isocitratase, alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase, succinic dehydrogenase, fumarase, malic dehydrogenase, citratase, and acetyl coenzyme A kinase activities. With the assay conditions employed, condensing enzyme, malate synthetase, and phosphotransacetylase activities were negligible. Incubation of sodium acetate-2-C(14) with the various intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle in the presence of cell-free extracts resulted in exchange of the isotope with these compounds as well as the formation of other labeled intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Oxidation of sodium acetate-2-C(14) alone resulted in the formation of labeled succinate, fumarate, and malate.
