Sterols from ascocarps of Tuber (truffle) and Terfezia species were identified by gas–liquid chromatography, gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and the structure of brassicasterol from the yeastlike cells of Taphrina deformans confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Sterols of the fruiting bodies ranged from 1.2 to 2.3 μg/mg dry weight. Ergosterol was the principal sterol of Tuber species which also contained 28–44% brassicasterol depending on the species and source of the sample. Terfezia sp., on the other hand, contained about 98% brassicasterol with only small amounts of ergosterol. Brassicasterol is common to several families of the subdivision Ascomycotina, and to our knowledge has not been reported for a nonascomycetous species.

Two gibberellins, one GA1-like, the other GA3-like, were identified in the extracts of roots and tops of 8-,11- and 15-day-old barley seedlings by paper chromatography, paper electrophoresis, thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and bioassay procedures, followed by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The amounts of gibberellins in the seedlings ranged from 7 to 11 ng per plant. The concentrations of gibberellins in the seedlings were 32-320 ng/g dry weight and 5-28 ng/g fresh weight; concentrations in the roots were higher than those in the shoots.

ABSTRACT In vivo 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to elucidate the pathways and the regulation of pyruvate metabolism and pyruvate-lactate cometabolism noninvasively in living-cell suspensions of Propionibacterium freudenreichiisubsp. shermanii. The most important result of this work concerns the modification of fluxes of pyruvate metabolism induced by the presence of lactate. Pyruvate was temporarily converted to lactate and alanine; the flux to acetate synthesis was maintained, but the flux to propionate synthesis was increased; and the reverse flux of the first part of the Wood-Werkman cycle, up to acetate synthesis, was decreased. Pyruvate was consumed at apparent initial rates of 148 and 90 μmol · min−1 · g−1 (cell dry weight) when it was the sole substrate or cometabolized with lactate, respectively. Lactate was consumed at an apparent initial rate of 157 μmol · min−1 · g−1when it was cometabolized with pyruvate. P. shermanii used several pathways, namely, the Wood-Werkman cycle, synthesis of acetate and CO2, succinate synthesis, gluconeogenesis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and alanine synthesis, to manage its pyruvate pool sharply. In both types of experiments, acetate synthesis and the Wood-Werkman cycle were the metabolic pathways used most.
