Abstract

1. 1. The presence of a pyruvic oxidase in yeast has been demonstrated. This system is similar to that described for Escherichia coli and Streptococcus faecalis. 2. 2. This system is present both in the soluble and in the granular fraction. It is also present in yeast after anaerobic growth and in a mutant produced by respiratory deficiency. 3. 3.
