RESUMO

Wohlhieter, J. A. (Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington, D.C.), C. C. Brinton, Jr., and L. S. Baron. Utilization of carbohydrates and metabolic intermediates by piliated and nonpiliated bacteria. J. Bacteriol. 84:416–421. 1962.—The rate of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism of piliated and nonpiliated bacteria was studied in an effort to determine whether the presence of these surface structures altered the metabolic activity of bacteria. Respiration was measured manometrically when various piliated and nonpiliated strains metabolized glucose and several Krebs-cycle intermediates. Spontaneously produced nonpiliated variants of piliated cells were examined, but no difference in the rate of either aerobic or anaerobic metabolism was observed.
