Fate of the C1 product of propane dissimilation in Mycobacterium vaccae.
Mycobacterium vaccae catabolizes propane through a C2 + C1 cleavage. Radiorespirometric and 14C-substrate incorporation studies were conducted to ascertain the fate of the C1 product. Results presented indicate that it is directly assimilated through the cellular reduced C1 pool.
