Biosynthesis of acetate

This may be of significance in connetion with the biosynthesis of acetate from carbon dioxide, because the next step, the fixation of carbon monoxide, was demonstrated by B. Krautler. He irradiated methyl cobalamin under Co at 30 atm and obtained the acyl cobalamin as the product. Interestingly, a radical mechanism was iproposed, involving the reaction of methyl radicals with CO to give acyl radicals, which then recombine with the cobalt complex /55/.

Both these pools are apparently supplied from the same sources of COgt and the primary products of photochemical reactions, occuring in the membrane of thylakoids. But judging by the isoprene production /14, 16/ the pool AcCoA, presumably is supplied by them in lesser degree than pool BC. Further it. is supposed that the pool AcCoA, beside the main function - the biosynthesis of acetate which than is activated by coenzyme A functions as a supplier of phosphogly ceric acid in chloroplast (Ch) which can be synthesized from...
