Carbon dioxide was essential for growth and both acetate and pyruvate increased growth. 14C from [1-14C]acetate was found mainly in butyrate while 14C from 14CO2 or [1-14C]pyruvate appeared predominantly in formate and lactate. These results, together with those obtained with enzyme preparations, indicated pyruvate synthase, pyruvate-CO2 exchange and pyruvate formate lyase to be active.", }
