Microbiological Studies of Coli-aerogenes Bacteria

Part I. Conversion of the Lactic Acid Fermentation to α-Ketoglutaric Acid Fermentation

抄録

During investigations on the metabolisms of glucose by coli-aerogenes bacteria, it was found that the bacteria accumulated a large amount of α-ketoglutaric acid under aerobic conditions such as shaking culture, while lactic acid was ascertained to be produced anaerobically by the bacteria as was already known.
