  • Title: Some aspects of the metabolism of butyrivibrio fibrisolvens.
    Author: van Gylswyk NO.
    Journal: J Gen Microbiol; 1976 Nov; 97(1):105-11. PubMed ID: 993781.
    Abstract:
    The growth responses of an acetate-utilizing isolate of Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens to CO2, acetate and pyruvate were determined using a chemically-defined medium. Carbon dioxide was essential for growth and both acetate and pyruvate increased growth. 14C from [I-14C]pyruvate appeared predominantly in formate and lactate. These results, together with those obtained with enzyme preparations, indicated pyruvate synthase, pyruvate-CO2 exchange and pyruvate formate lyase to be active.
