Abstract
Summary
Fractions from Azotobacter agilis reduce TPN in the presence of 6-phosphoglu-conate. This reduction is due largely although perhaps not entirely, to oxidation of glycer-aldehyde-3-phosphate formed by the splitting system described by Mortenson, Hamilton, and Wilson. This organism possesses a TPN-linked triose-phosphate dehydrogenase, similar to that found in green leaves. The reduced TPN is reoxidized via the TPN-DPN trans-hydrogenase system.
