Biosynthesis of Vitamin B6
Abstract
The biosynthesis of vitamin B6 was studied in an Escherichia coli mutant, blocked between pyridoxol and pyridoxal. Specific incorporation of glycerol, pyruvate, serine, and glucose was shown by chemical degradation of labeled samples of pyridoxol isolated from the medium of cultures which had been incubated with various 14C-labeled radiomers of these substrates. The observed pattern of incorporation of 14C shows that pyridoxol is derived from 3 …
