Summary
The occurrence of guanosinediphosphate-mannose- and uridinediphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase is demonstrated in the green alga Acetabularia mediterranea. The possible role of the nucleotide sugars, which were synthesised by these enzymes, in the formation of the cell wall of the alge is discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Das Vorkommen von Guanosindiphosphat-mannose- und Uridindiphosphat-glucose-Pyrophosphorylase in der Grünalge Acetabularia mediterranea wurde nachgewiesen. Es wird diskutiert, welche Rolle die durch diese Enzyme synthetisierten Nucleotid-Zucker bei der Synthese der Zellwand der Alge spielen könnten.
