✦ Synopsis
Considerable behavioral differences were observed during growth of Clostridium kluyveri on ethanol-acetate and on crotonate media. The identity of the erotonate grown Clostridium with the ethanol grown Clostridium kluyveri was therefore established by three characteristic biosynthetic routes: 1. ribose is synthesized from C02 and acetate via pyruvate, triose phosphate and a non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, 2. reduced one-carbon units are formed predominantly from COe and not from serine as usual, and 3. glutamate biogenesis follows an atypical stereoehemical course. * This paper contains parts of the doctoral thesis of J. W., Medizinische Fa-kult~t, Universit~t Freiburg, 1968.
