Suspension cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cells will grow with either nitrate or glutamate as sole nitrogen source. Under the particular culture conditions used, cell growth is nitrogen limited. Within the range of initial nitrogen concentrations used (7-14 mM), cell growth on nitrate or

โฆ Synopsis
In sycamore cells grown on nitrate as opposed to glutamate there is a higher pentose phosphate pathway carbon flux relative to glycolysis in the early stages of cell growth when nitrate assimilation is most active. The high pentose phosphate pathway activity compared with glycolysis in nitrate grown cells is accompanied by enhanced levels of hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, glucose-6-phosphate de-hydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and transketolase. There is no significant increase in activity of the solely glycolytic enzyme, phosphofructokinase. It is suggested that the increased pentose phosphate pathway activity in nitrate grown cells is correlated with a demand by nitrite assimilation for NADPH.

The purpose of this investigation is to deiiionstrate relationships that exist betu-een cellular respiration and cell growth in tissue culture. I n previous studies (Danes and Leinfelder, '51) it has been demonstrated that cellular growth in tissue cultures is altered when respiration is inhibited b
Using density gradient techniques we have shown that in addition to a location within the cytoplasm all the enzymes of the pentose phosphate pathway are also present within the plastids of apical cells of pea roots.
