Summary
The possible role of tricarboxylic acid cycle in the metabolism ofC. diphtheriae was studied. The occurence of succinic, malic, citric, pyruvic, oxaloacetic, andα-ketoglutaric acid in the culture filtrate and, on the other hand, the dehydrogenation of succinic, malic, citric, and acetic acid by freeze-dried bacteria could be demonstrated.
