Tartaric acid metabolism of Neurospora crassa.
The growth of wild type Neurospora crassa is stimulated by various organic acids including tartaric, tartronic, and mesoxalic acids. Evidence is presented that this organism converts d- or l-tartaric acid to tartronic and mesoxalic acid, probably by fixation of CO(2).
