Summary

As in the case of oxidative metabolism, the photosynthetic metabolism of propionate in Rhodospirillum rubrum begins with a carboxylation yielding succinate. This conclusion is based on experiments in which radioactive propionate (1-C14 and 2-C14) is administered in the presence of “carrier” lactate, pyruvate, succinate, and acrylate, and on studies of the inhibitory action of malonate.
