Formate metabolism is the most obscure sector of the plant C network, and the one where the genome has yielded the most surprises.3 Plants have formate pools that are important sources of Ci units,24"27 and plants also have formate dehydrogenase activity.28 31 However, the origin of formate is not clear. It may come from non-enzymatic decarboxylation of glyoxylate in leaves in the light,27 32 but this cannot be... 

The first indication that selenium might play a role in formate metabolism in the well-studied model system of E. coli was spotted with the isolation of mutants that did not produce hydrogen. These mutants of course...

Two pathways have been described for formate metabolism a peroxidatic pathway via catalase and a folate dependent one carbon pathway. Treatment of rats with amino-triazole, an irreversible inhibitor of catalase, severely depressed a-oxidation activity but only slightly decreased the production of CO2 from exogenously added formate. " Whether the effect of aminotriazole is (solely) linked to the inhibition of catalase is unclear (see further). In addition to these above mentioned pathways our data point to a cytosolic NAD -dependent dehydrogenase activity that acts on the formate produced during a-oxidation. In peimeabilized cells or broken systems, suppUed with the qi-propriate cofactors (see further), almost no CO2 is formed, during a-oxidation unless NAD is added. ...
