Abstract
1. 1. Carbohydrate and lipid reserves decreased when Panagrellus redivivus and Turbatrix aceti were starved. 2. 2. The enzymes of β-oxidation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were present, and their functional activity was indicated by the ability of both species to oxidize absorbed 14C-U-palmitic acid to CO 2. 3. 3. T. aceti, and to a lesser extent P. redivivus, also incorporated fatty acid carbon into glycogen. The presence of the glyoxylate cycle enzymes, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, and of the gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, constitute a possible mechanism for this conversion.
