[The endogenous metabolism of Pseudomonas fluorescens in relation to the oxidation of ethanol, serine, and pyruvate].

Studies of the oxidation of ethanol, serine and pyruvate by non proliferating suspensions of P. fluorescens show that the rate of oxidation of these substrates is appreciably increased by the addition of NADH. The observed effects are interpreted on the basis of apparent oxidation quotients of NADH which exceed the theoretical values.
