The inability of glucose-grown staphylococci to oxidize intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle was correlated with diminished succinate and isocitrate dehydrogenase activity in cell-free extracts as compared with extracts from organisms grown without glucose. Suspensions of aerobically-grown staphylococci fermented glucose anaerobically at only about one third the rate observed with anaerobically-grown organisms. The nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide-linked lactate dehydrogenase activity in extracts of the anaerobically-grown organisms was about ten times higher than that in extracts of aerobically-grown staphylococci., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-29-3-531
