The authors (1) have reported the formation of deoxyinosine from inosine by cell washed suspension of Lactobacillus leichmannii ATCC 7830. Similar studies were further made using inosine-8-C14 and the washed cell suspension of the strain. First, the isolation and identification of the compounds which appeared in the reaction mixture were tried by two-dimensional paper chromatography and bioauto graphy and also the recovery of the standard compounds added to the reaction mixture. Then, the isolation and determination of 2•L-deoxyinosine-8-C14 were tested similarly, and the metabolic fate of inosine-8-C14 was examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
