In C4 grasses belonging to the NADP-malic enzyme-type subgroup, malate is considered to be the predominant C4 acid metabolized during C4 photosynthesis, and the bundle sheath cell chloroplasts contain very little photosystem-II (PSII) activity. The present studies showed that Flaveria bidentis (L.),

## Abstract The synthesis of selectively ^14^C‐labeled l‐tryptophan and its derivative 5‐hydroxy‐l‐tryptophan using chemical and multienzymatic methods is reported. The mixture containing [1‐^14^C[‐dl‐alanine, indole or 5‐hydroxyindole has been converted to [1‐^14^C]‐l‐tryptophan or 5′‐hydroxy‐[1‐^
Syntheses are described from a common labeled intermediate of P-cyanoalanine, asparagine, and aspartic acid, each of the L conjiguration and labeled with carbon-14 in carbon-four. Radiochemical purities were 96, 99.7, and 99 %. The common source of carbon-14 was ethyl aCetyl-DL-P-~yanoalaninate-4-~~
## Abstract Two labeled isotopomers of L‐tyrosine, L‐Tyr, have been synthesized using specific properties of the enzymes phenylanine ammonia lyase, PAL, and L‐phenylalanine hydroxylase. In an intermediate step [1‐^14^C]‐, and [2‐^14^C]‐L‐phenylalanine, L‐Phe, have been obtained from [1‐^14^C]‐, and
## Abstract 3‐L‐Pyroglutamyl‐L‐thiazolidine‐4‐carboxylic acid (Pidotimod), a new immunostimulating agent, has been prepared labelled with ^14^C and ^35^ isotopes starting from L‐[U‐^14^C]‐glutamic acid 5 and L‐[^35^S]‐cysteine hydrochloride 6, respectively. In the first synthesis, L‐[U‐^14^C]‐5 is
No fumarase activity could be found in whole cells or in cell-free crude extracts from Leuconostoc mesenteroides or Lactobacillus curvatus. The degradation of L-malate-4-14C by these organisms yielded more than 95% of the label as 14CO2. It is therefore recommended that these organisms, rather than
